From the reviews: "The book offers an outline for thinking about the differential diagnosis for serious skin diseases one would not want to miss. ... The audience is emergency room physicians, dermatologists, and residents. ... The color photographs are overall quite good quality. ... The authors have compiled important dermatologic diseases that both dermatology residents and physicians who are not dermatologists need to be aware of. ... It is a useful outline for nondermatologists and medical students and residents seeking an introduction to potential life-threatening skin conditions."
