“One of the reasons why I, 'a medical man' decided to give up medicine was a firm conviction of the extraordinary influence on health of pleasurable excitement, especially when combined with fresh air and exercise. How frequently have I, with great difficulty, persuaded patients who were never off my doorsteps to take up golf, and how rarely, if ever, I have seen them in my consulting room again.” IfsMenGivingReasonRoomsAirInfluenceExerciseGiving UpDecidedDifficultyMedicineGolfExtraordinaryPatientConvictionMedicalFirmReason WhyExcitementFresh AirConsultingDoorstep Author:Alister MacKenzie

“Being on a book tour is like being on the seesaw when you're a little kid.
