'The autobiography covers [Sir Denis Pereira Gray's] professional career with copious references to the evidence that has driven his clinical practice. There is not much that he has not done ... His exceptional memory, written records, and press cuttings provide rich details, making the book an engaging rather than a difficult read ... Anyone currently working in general practice who is, or aspires to be, an effective influencer should read this to learn what it takes to make the changes to improve health care. It also explains what has often been lost from the institutional memory of organisations – learning from past experience.' - Terry Kemple, retired GP, for BJGP Life '... covers the huge body of achievements, including many successes and some failures, of a remarkable life in the very frontline of the medical world in this country over many decades ... This book makes abundantly clear just how great a debt we, the public, and indeed the whole medical profession owe to this 'fortunate man'. - St Leonard's News
