To Whom It May Concern:
I am happy to provide
this letter of reference for Lawrence D. Tobias. I recently had the
opportunity to work with Larry on a six-month project in which we attempted
to identify five common pain conditions and prepare lectures about each
of them. The most challenging part of the project was to produce algorithms
for each of the pain conditions. This required not only good writing
skills, but also good negotiation skills. I found that Larry has both
of these. In addition, he has the sense for accuracy that is needed
in medical writing.
An unusual aspect
of working with Larry was that he has an extensive background in science
and medications. This made it easy to converse with him and almost never
did he slow the group down because of his knowledge base. He successfully
completed his project and deserves a lot of credit for its excellent
product.
If I were looking
for a consultant in the area of medical writing, I would certainly use
Larry Tobias again. He has excellent editing skills and superb people
skills. If I can provide any other information I would be glad to.
Sincerely yours,
Edward T. Bope,
