It just seems like the author could have taken a little bit more time to clarify a few of the algorithms, but otherwise from my knowledge the author is one of the leading experts in the field and there is some really good information in this book. The author speaks from a wealth of experience and research into the problems facing the further development of the Saudi healthcare system. When in a foul mood he would torture a man to death for an unintended slight, but on other days would not only pardon but reward an enemy who had the courage to defy or insult him.
