Textbook of pathology

This is the third time that I was asked to write a foreword to Dr Mohan's Textbook, and again I am at a loss for words to adequately express my enthusiasm for this book which has such a long history of excellence. Over all those years spanning the previous six editions, it has served as an introduction to clinical medicine to generations of medical students, and I am sure that it will continue in that function way into the twenty first century. A book of this caliber does not need introductions, forewords and endorsements for its continuous success. Its value has been proven over and over again by those for whom it was written and those who have used it in its previous editions—the medical students and their professors.
