Internal Medicine Made Easy!
Dr. Orrin Barrow, my mentor and teacher used to say that "Medicine is easy." In this spirit, I have decided to put together illustrations that have helped me to appreciate this fact, and which I would like to share with the medical students that pass under my supervision.
