Biography
Barry Bub
'Barry Bub has a real gift for bringing encounters with patients and colleagues to life. He manages to make stories about people more telling and more educational than any pure theorist ever could. His ideas about identifying laments and how to respond to them are a powerful and original contribution to family medicine.' - Dr John Launer, Associate Director, London Department of Postgraduate GP Education.
