They identify its origins, components and subtypes; demonstrate the ways in which, and the extent to which it is intrinsic to medicine...and they present a cogent case for its special relationship to primary care practice...'Clinical Uncertainty in Primary Care' not only presents a model of collegial collaboration and support, it also implicitly legitimates it.''
