- Debby Waldman, <em>Quill and Quire</em>
<p>"The first readers of this <i>History of Medicine</i> should be medical students. As the director of a history of medicine program I welcome this book, for at last I have a good textbook to recommend ... It should be bought by, or better still, presented to each Canadian medical student as a reward for acceptance into medical school." </p>
- Peter Warren, <em>Canadian Medical Association Journal</em>
<p>"A rollicking ride through the history of medicine ... Each chapter represents the tried-and-true teaching methods of the author ... [these], combined with the author's lucid writing style and often humorous approach, made me envious of Duffin's students."</p>
- Hughes Evans, <em>Isis</em>
<p>"Duffin's book is not only concise but also entertaining and enlightening ... a valuable, good-natured overview of a large topic that challenges everyone who teaches the history of medicine to do a better job." </p>
- Barron H. Lerner, <em>Journal of the History of Medicine</em>
<p>"This book is a superbly crafted volume readily accessible to the medical students for whom it was intended but equally rewarding to historians of all stripes for its wide-ranging and insightful discussions of the development of medicine from antiquity to Ebola and AIDS ... a reminder of the splendor and fascination of healing and its lengthy and compelling history." </p>
- Susan E. Lederer, <em>Canadian Bulletin of Medical History</em>
<p>"As a textbook it is not scandalously short, but great, concise, and straightforward. Recommended!" </p>
- Charlotte Haug, <em>Journal of Norwegian Medical Association</em>
