Abstract
Whiplash injury has increased during the past, 40 years. Peer copying has occurred both among patients and practitioners. The importance of understanding the common course of the injury is stressed and simpler and less costly management suggested. Also noted is the importance of digesting whole articles. Reliance upon abstracted material alone or p arts of articles may prove to be misleading and may lead to perpetuati ng questionable information.
