Críticas:

"covers the right subject matter for the health care debate of the '90s and beyond Dermatologists have been slow to assemble data that support the role of one treatment vis--vis another, and that data will be necessary to convince third parties of the merits of our efforts on patients' behalf. This book brings together this type of information for the first time and will likely usher in a new era in which we measure the benefit of our treatments by the real impact on our patients' lives. "-Robert L. Rietschel, M.D., Chairman, Department of Dermatology Ochsner Clinic and Alton Ochsner Medical Foundation, New Orleans, Louisiana "superb a valuable resource for students, practitioners, and researchers. This is a significant collection of information and anyone interested in skin disease, economics, or quality of life should find this book useful and informative. "-William F. McGhan, Pharm.D., Ph.D., Professor Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, Pennsylvania
