Zusatztext BMA Book of the Year 2015 Award Winnerfor General Practice“Brilliant... Take for granted the superb colour photographs, the comprehensive and readable text, the clinical accuracy and acumen of the authors... what’s special is the diagnostically and educationally helpfully structure. This book understands that most of us do not have photographic memories, and panic when we don’t immediately recognise a skin lesion. Provided we can establish a few simple features on the rash – where it is, what colour, how long it has been there, surface characteristics – we turn to the appropriate algorithm, look at the picture for confirmation and come up with the right answer. It is such a relief I could burst into tears of gratitude.” -- Postgraduate Education for General Practice, on the First Edition Zusammenfassung Fully updated and revised!
