Aus den Rezensionen: “... Das Kernstück ... ist dem Symbiosebereich von ärztlicher Patientenbehandlung und klinischer Prüfung mit Arzneimitteln ... gewidmet. ...

Den Namen des Autors sollte guy sich in der Szene intestine merken.“ (Dr mr Hans Dieter Lippert, in: GesundheitsRecht, 20/May/2010, factor five, S. 279)
