Strong work, LD! Who says dermies don't save lives? (A lot of people, I know, but it's a rhetorical question.)

Last I checked, PV is a Dermie area. Anyone want to guess the approximate mortality if left untreated?
I know overall mortality is 5-15% but not sure if that's already with treatment or without
That's definitely with treatment. Untreated, and before the advent of systemic corticosteroids, mortality approached 100%.
Skin cancer is probably easier to use as an example on Seinfeld though. 🙂
Most definitely. Could you imagine if they had to explain PV to the audience, how bad it is, that dermatologists treat it, that a lot of people die? Not nearly as funny as:
"Skin cancer!"
I prefer their use of the term "Aloe Pusher." It's more original.

Even after watching it I didn't realize that was Marcia Cross. I'm that unobservant.
