This essay aims to stimulate a reawakening of interest in the writings of the physician Richard Asher (1912-1969), who is now best known for coining the term "Munchausen's syndrome." Asher's essays are as relevant now as when first published. His articles were a model of clarity, wit and elegance: he argued consistently for precision in thought and expression, for logic in clinical thinking, and for evidence in treatment.
