scaer's analogy bw vehicular whiplash and trauma generally is creative and clear

the text abounds with references to double-blind experimental studies, case studies, and anatomical theory of western medicine

but scaer's myopic focus on the discrete, atomic links of biological mechanisms obscures his analysis, and leads him to say absurd things like: whiplash involves no injury to the soft tissues of the neck, rather it involves a dysfunctional neurological relation to the soft tissues of the neck in such a way that is nearly indistinguishable from an injury. he says such things with a straight face

basically, its a decent book. but there r MUCH better ones out there ( )
