“Dermatology, like a photograph, is an open secret. The lesions present on the surface, the diagnoses, however, can lead to the most remote of etiologies, making the clinical work a daily discovery.”

“Skin may seem like a border between individuals and their environment, but really it is a window to the diseases experienced by the body.”

“By practising Dermatology, I crossed over yet another border as a physician who understands that what matters most about what one sees is its link to what lies beneath.”

“In my quest to shed boundaries that are either trivial or artificial, I have chosen a profession in which I will cross daily the very boundary whose integrity is the sine qua non of our existence: the skin.”
