Scabies - NHS patient education video



From the NHS Choices YouTube channel: Scabies is a contagious skin infection which itches intensely. A GP talks about the causes, symptoms and treatment.

From the memorable medical textbooks of the past: Medical textbooks were not always as dreary and as bland as they are now, according to BMJ.

Some examples of lively, first person didactic tone come from J L Burton’s Essentials of Dermatology: "The simultaneous occurrence of scabies in a doctor and a nurse may mean that they have shared nothing more exciting than a patient with Norwegian scabies."
