The book encounters ever-changing new legal challenges aimed at practicing dermatologists, hair, cosmetic and VD specialists. Legal concerns in medical practice are catching dermatologists off guard with each passing day. Dermatologists' use of seemingly benign terms like "iatrogenic," "know case of," "known complications," and "known to cause death or disability" is equated to alleged medical malpractice. People are becoming more conscious as a result of dermatologist's services falling under the purview of the Consumer Protection Act-2019.
Even now, neither undergraduate nor postgraduate training prepares dermatologists for real-world scenarios including charges of medical malpractice, deficiency of service, and unfair trade practice. For the first time, a dermatologist realizes the importance of what to communicate and what not to communicate, the importance of counseling, forewarning, disclosure, guarantee, and warrantee, all of which lead to proper informed consent/contract for medical services. Book shows importance of why, when and what to document on OPD, IPD transfer and discharge papers as evidence by proper preservation of medical records. Indian Medical Council (Professional conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 adopted by National Medical Commission 2019, which rolled out new code of conduct on 02-08-2003 and rolled back on 24-08-2023, thus leaving 2002 position as it is.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
