Thanks for the list

Noticed Bailey and Love

I have the old copy,autographed,by several ,

And also used by my nephew for his primary FRCS[now at Moorefields]

But there are several books on psychiatry,

Which pharmaceutical companies are the most active in sri lanka?

Please send your list, I will reach them via the regional managers,

And with direct contact,with the local managers.

Shall forward it to many try to get the best response.

If a local request is needed to back up and also mail

Any books,magazines,

Which addreses can we use as reference/

Still ,cannot fail to observe that british system,though much out dated

Still appears to be having a firm hold.

In psychiatry,

They are way below the new standards,

Including the classification of diseases, and DSM 4,dsm 4 tr,

And the new proposed dsm 5.

Can we in some way keep the local practioners,and specialists,

Updated with the new methods, new diagnostic criteria,

And better treatment outcone,

Than to lag behind with the old teachings of the old masters?

Maybe we can change it if we try.

Will it obstruct the advancement of local graduates,

Within the health dept[still the only and sot powerful employer]
