This magazine was founded twelve years ago by the very same Tom Ferguson, M.D., whose medical reviews have graced our pages for a like period. As you might guess, the magazine encourages wellness —taking care of yourself to stay healthy. Articles are current, authoritative, and mercifully free of fearmongering, hype, and fad. The issue I have here on my desk has a thorough article on something I recently needed to know about: Are the new Urgent Care Centers—often found in shopping malls—any good, or are they
“Medical McDonalds?” (The article says they’re mostly OK, and cost about half of a hospital emergency room. Turned out to be true.) Useful stuff. The book reviews are particularly good.
