Beginning with the 6th edition, the cover of Harrison's has included an image of a bright light—a patient's perception of being examined with an ophthalmoscope. This allegorical symbol of Harrison's is a reminder of how the light of knowledge empowers physicians to better diagnose and treat diseases that ultimately afflict all of humankind.
Author Disclosure Policy: McGraw-Hill and the Harrison's Editorial Board requires all contributors to disclose to the Editors and the Publisher any potential financial or professional conflicts that would raise the possibility of distorting the preparation of a Harrison's chapter.
