Considerations, written by a leading expert on OTC, for the first
time assembles and analyzes more than 40 years of basic science and
clinical research. It will be the definitive resource on the topic
for pediatricians, geneticists, and internists who care for
patients with OTC deficiency, as well as for basic scientists and

Academic medicine is a unique medical career wherein a doctor must
excel in patient care, teaching and research. Philip J. Snodgrass,
M.D. graduated from Harvard College in 1949 and from Harvard
Medical School in 1953. He was accepted for training at the Peter
Bent Brigham, a Harvard teaching hospital where many of the
advances were happening. Dr. Snodgrass takes the reader through
internship and residency years in internal medicine, interrupted by
two years in Naval aviation medicine. He describes research
training in biophysics, two years as chief medical resident and ten
years as chief of gastroenterology at the Brigham, serving under
the legendary George W. Thorn, the chief of medicine. In 1973 Dr.
Snodgrass left Boston to become professor of medicine at Indiana
University School of Medicine and chief of the medical service at a
large veterans hospital in Indianapolis. His research led to a
sabbatical in Oxford, England in the laboratory of Sir Hans Krebs.
Dr. Snodgrass writes in reportorial style that allows the readers
to draw their own conclusions about his experiences. Through this
one doctor's career the readers will learn about this amazing world
which impacts on all our lives.
