Abstract
Dr David Scott has been serving as consulting editor of POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE since April 1983. He is a general internist who has practiced as a primary care physician in a small group for a number of years. Currently he serves in a neighborhood clinic that is part of the Park Nicollet Medical Center in Minneapolis. I have known him for approximately a decade, and throughout this period I have admired his incisive thinking and the breadth of his knowledge.
He has several “hobby” interests in medicine, which are not necessarily related to one another. These include sports medicine (he serves as team physician for the US Nordic Ski Team), heavy metal intoxication, medical applications of computers, and the relationship between medical education and medical practice.
I am pleased to have him as an editorial colleague, and I welcome this guest editorial that deals with one of his special interests. I believe our readers will find it provocative.
