THE Top Notch Medical Reference Book for Scleroderma

As webmaster of Scleroderma from A to Z (sclero.org), a 550+ page site that is available in 11 languages, I find myself turning to this book for solid medical information nearly every single day. This is a full-fledged medical book, suited for doctors, researchers, and for patients who are at ease with complicated medical jargon...or who are willing to wade through it to understand more about the disease and its possible complications. You will definitely find more information in this book than anywhere on the Internet. It is an absolute must for rheumatology libraries, and for all doctors who have patients that are unable to travel to a scleroderma treatment center.I am continually shocked by the numbers of patients I hear from who have suffered scleroderma symptoms for years -- and even decades -- before being properly diagnosed. If more doctors read this book, and kept scleroderma in mind as a possible diagnosis, this could prevent untold misery and waylaid diagnosis for many people.Please get this book -- and study it well! -- if you care for any scleroderma patients. This is a very complex, devastating, and all-too-often deadly disease which will bring to bear all of your medical expertise. This book also covers a wide array of scleroderma-like illnesses. It explains rare complications and the nearly the very latest information available on the front of scleroderma research.Drs. Clements and Furst are known as scleroderma experts worldwide, and are dedicated scleroderma researchers and clinicians. There is simply no better medical book about scleroderma available in the world today.
