This review is from: Consultations in Dermatology: Studies of Orphan and Unique Patients (Paperback)
The good doctors Shelley are my favorite dermatology authors; I have read and enjoyed many of their pithy, insightful and truly helpful texts. I learn more in a single page of reading Shelley than in some chapters of other texts!
This book, while different in style, is no different in terms of the outcome. It is more colloquial and more story-like, but as riveting and densely packed as ever. There are multiple levels of learning: each case, while unique, has something to teach about a symptom, syndrome or presentation, while the overarching theme is one of looking more deeply and thinking about underlying causes for disease. An outstanding book!

A must for every student of medicine and frustrated patient,

This review is from: Consultations in Dermatology: Studies of Orphan and Unique Patients (Paperback)
This is a powerful and important book written by two pre-eminent physicians discussing 62 intriguing and remarkable cases of "orphan" patients who did not have a proper diagnosis or treatment for their unique condition.
These eloquent vignettes are relevant and important to medical students, residents, and physicians, and most certainly to patients who have perplexing and challenging conditions for which diagnosis or treatment are lacking. This book uses the inquisitive nature of Sherlock Holmes to deduce and aid the forgotten or dismissed patient. It inspires me as a physician to ask more questions and seek more answers, and in the words of Churchill, "never, never, never give up." I highly recommend it.
