This work is no substitute for individual patient assessment based upon health-care professionals examination of each patient and consideration of, among other things, age, weight, gender, current or prior medical conditions, medication history, laboratory data, and other factors unique to the patient. The publisher does not provide medical advice or guidance, and this work is merely a reference tool. Health-care professionals, and not the publisher, are solely responsible for the use of this work, including all medical judgments, and for any resulting diagnosis and treatments.

Given continuous, rapid advances in medical science and health information, independent professional verification of medical diagnoses, indications, appropriate pharmaceutical selections and dosages, and treatment options should be made, and health-care professionals should consult a variety of sources. When prescribing medication, health-care professionals are advised to consult the product information sheet (the manufacturers package insert) accompanying each drug to verify, among other things, conditions of use, warnings, and side effects and identify any changes in dosage schedule or contraindications, particularly if the medication to be administered is new, infrequently used, or has a narrow therapeutic range. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, no responsibility is assumed by the publisher for any injury and/or damage to persons or property, as a matter of products liability, negligence law or otherwise, or from any reference to or use by any person of this work.

Since this book and all of my previous books came about through efforts toward excellence in teaching, I would like to dedicate this book to the colleagues in my teaching departments. The dedicated people in the Departments of Family Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport, LA, and the Departments of Family and Preventive Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia, SC, are outstanding examples of dedication to patient care and the art of teaching. These dedicated men and women exemplify what is best about both the medical and the teaching professions.

I thank my family, who taught me to see what could be, strive for things beyond myself, to do things that may make this world a better place. I especially thank my wife, who constantly teaches me to see beyond the mundane into the infinite. What a wonderful, interesting, and amazing world we live in and how wonderful that we may make it a better place.
