AB Long  time  contributors  and  fans  of  the  “Clinician’s  Pocket  Reference”  will  note  the  cover  no  longer  identifies  this  as  the  “Famous  Scut  Monkey  Book.”  In  40  years  of  publication  of  this  manual  no  one  has  ever  expressed  concern  or  have  been  offended  by  the  “Scut  Monkey”  character  portrayal.  In  our  new  world  of  heightened  sensitivities,  the  term  “Scut  Monkey  Book”  is  not  a  prominent  feature  in  this  edition.  However,  the  historical  references  to  the  “Scut  Monkey,”  which  has  always  been  considered  an  energetic,  fun,  and  positive  symbol  of  medical  training,  have  been  maintained  in  the  introductory  portions  of  the  book  as  well  as  in  the  back-cover  image.  The  editors  and  publisher  appreciate  everyone’s  understanding  and  hope  we  have  made  it  clear  the  “Scut  Monkey”  is  only  portrayed  in  a  very  positive  light.
