Editorial Reviews

Review

Lisa Chandler of the Headway National Head Association Ltd., Hampshire, England, wrote to you asking for help regarding a male patient, Mr. Hedley Wooldrige. . . There is a book published fairly recently that pertains to just this kind of head trauma. It's really an excellent book, written by the late Dr. Bernard Swerdlow, MD, entitled Whiplash and Related Headaches published by CRC Press of Boca Raton, Florida.
