The journal: a change at the helm
Abstract
This is my last editorial in South African Family Practice, since my term finally expired on 31 December 2011, after 13 years. I can remember how Sam Fehrsen, a former editor, always used to talk about “the journal”, and so we all followed. To me, this is a term of endearment, respect, and recognition of the important role it played in the development of the discipline of family medicine.
