The author states that the 'math phobia' of some medical professionals has been taken into consideration and therefore has tried to 'avoid mathematical intricacies', to produce a 'light and enjoyable text for the medical fraternity'.

However, readers who are keen on the 'fancy mathematics' behind the theory can benefit from these parts.
