Book Cover & Preview Text
This book references the start of a movement that has fundamentally and forever changed the way we practice Medicine. There are many other books and articles published about Evidence-based Medicine , but there are none that tell the story from this unique perspective – that of early missionaries bringing the new EBM gospel to the 'wilds' of industry, while struggling to survive as a business start-up. Travels with Shubh is the memoir of an insider, the company’s physician co-founder, who believes the best stories should both teach and entertain.
