“The purpose is to heighten awareness among dermatologists, medical students, emergency room physicians, and primary care physicians about the cutaneous findings and dermatologic entities that can have potentially dire consequences if not recognized. The audience is medical students, dermatology residents, dermatologists, emergency physicians, and primary care physicians.” (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
