I understand your point, but again, we are concerned with the bookscontent, not with any individuals beef with the author, and if you do that should be for another thread.
I still shake my head and wonder why people believe that any person should be haeld to a higher standard than joe public purely because they are a physician.

Same punishment for same infringement, no matter how "respected" you are.
