The World

During the winters of the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Dr W G Grace - undeniably the most famous cricketer in the world (Figure 1) - went about his business in Bristol as a family doctor in one of the city's poorer areas. Though instantly recognizable by the Victorian public, his professional activities were unhindered by the press, by his cricketing admirers or by his sporting colleagues. Such a situation is now scarcely credible when lesser sporting heroes are pursued and harassed by the ubiquitous press and media, eager for trivia, tittle-tattle, and salacious gossip. Nevertheless, William Gilbert Grace (WG) was able to pursue two separate and entirely different careers. The first, his cricketing life, was crowned with spectacular sporting success and erratic financial rewards; the second, his doctor's life, gave him domestic security and stability, and the means to enjoy his sport. For him life was topsy-turvy, with cricket as his profession and medicine as his hobby.

Patient’S History

The increase in the number of cesarean sections led to severe complications, such as the ectopic scar pregnancy and the morbidly adherent placenta. The incidence of scar pregnancy is 1/2000 of pregnancies, the more frequently associated with the higher the number of cesarean sections. These can cause severe bleeding, rupture of the uterus, bladder or digestive injury or maternal mortality. The general practitioner has an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of these patients. He knows the patient's history, is asked in permanent by it and sometimes is in the situation of being the only one checking pregnancy. This work aims to review the diagnostic and monitoring criteria for ectopic scar pregnancy helpful to family physicians. Addressing all patients with a scarred uterus for early screening ultrasound may increase the rate of diagnosis. The family doctor is an essential partnership in monitoring these high risk cases.

Neonatal Deaths

The concern of the practicing physician to provide the best possible care for his patients is not a new one belonging to the "now" generation or even Nader's Raiders.1 It has been passed from yesterday's family doctor to today's general practitioner and specialist and is exemplified by Dr. Laurance Nickey's letter to the Editor2 in which he asks if the data are reliable which show that 12 countries report lower infant mortality rates than the United States.
