About the author: Iftikhar Khawaja was teaching Neurology in the nineties to the postgraduate doctors aspiring to specialize as Neurologists as fellows of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Pakistan. He was also an examiner for FCPS (Neurology). He was closely associated with medical publishing in the nineties as Editor of JPIMS (Journal of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences). He has written articles on stroke, headache and fits and is author of another book titled "Understanding Neurology." He believes in using plain language and in the past has written medical articles in the lay press. In the recent years he has been demonstrating, what he calls "the art of deduction in Neurology" at the bedside to medical students and junior doctors. The format of this book reflects his teaching style. Dr Khawaja lives with his wife in Whitley Bay in the North East of England. They have two sons. Currently he works as a Stroke physician in the NHS. In his spare time he plays the sitar and golf. Why I wrote this book: "What pains me most is to see the junior doctors shunning and avoiding Neurology. It is a beautifully logical subject. Each case is a practical demonstration on cause and effect, an exercise in the art of deduction and indeed a better "whodunit" than any detective fiction could ever produce."

A breakthrough in health care for employees and employers alike, HSAs stand for Health Savings Accounts. As of Januar y 1, 2004, HSAs are a new option, similar to an IRA, offering individuals a tax-sheltered way to accumulate savings. Tax-free dollars in HSAs may be withdrawn for qualified medical expenses, rolled over without penalty for spending in future years, or invested, to accumulate savings to pay for health needs after retirement. As 73% of all Americans spend $500 or less on medical costs each year, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) make sense for many of us. The consumer wins with a tax-advantaged account for medical expenses, which is portable, and grows tax-free, just like an IRA; and wins again with using the lower-cost, must have, high-deductible health policy. The 'Consumer's Guide to HSAs' answers the question What's in it for Me?
