This however will not replace the A to Z of Skin Failure just as the revised version of the A to Z of Bones, Joints, Ligaments & the Back, did not replace the A to Z of Bone & Joint Failure, but rather enhanced it.The three main sections HAIR, NAILS & SKIN of the main text (MT) have remained separate in this edition as om the last. but there is more cross referencing, throughout particularly between the CT section and the MT.Some Cosmetic procedures are included and summarized as they are in many circles regarded as the normal condition of these tissues, particularly the aging skin.

Due to strong feedback other common medical terminology used in health studies are also included, along with a limited number of pathological terms, particularly dermatological descriptive terms.

Quality Book Club Edition - in good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights on books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.This is not a history of medicine but a study of the doctor himself and of the varying esteem in which he has been held in the community. It begins in the days when he was beginning to shake himself free from soothsayers, philosophers and theologians. It describes the furious quarrels between physicians, surgeons, apothecaries and quacks, in which the patient tended to be forgotten, and traces the emergence of the General Practitioner with his jars of leeches and his stethoscope in his top-hat. It deals with the royal doctor (nervously performing with operation which may end his career or bring him a baronetcy), the fashionable London doctor (charging a guinea a mile for visits outside the metropolis), the country doctor riding up the endless lanes and glens asleep on his horse, the spa doctor, the lackey doctor in the rich hypochondriac's entourage, the 'penny… Read More
