UCSF Campus 1904: Courtesy of UCSF Library / CKM, Archives & Special Collections The history of Dermatology in San Francisco is extant and should be venerated. San Francisco is widely considered "the best place on earth." Not everybody agrees, but it has been home to some of the most original and creative dermatologists in North America and even from the whole world. Dr. "Gus" Rees clearly fits that mold. While Gus was the doyen of clinical dermatology in San Francisco who introduced methotrexate for the therapy of psoriasis, he wrote with unique elan and sparkling sense of humor. In 1975, Gus wrote an appraisal of San Francisco Dermatologists mentioning those who were deceased among his friends and collaborators. We present an update of the San Francisco history including additional friends who became the forebears of our society. |
