Industry Reviews "Here the worried well among the aging can find comfort in such passages as the explanation of those spots, called "floaters," that speckle one's vision and seem to multiply as the years pass....Merck is to be congratulated for not restricting the availability of the manual to physicians. Elderly patients and their families are demanding to participate in their mediaacl care these days, and the geriatrics manual can provide them with useful starting points for discussing their care with their doctors." Wall Street Journal - Jerry E. Bishop (07/17/1995)
