A group of doctors with CVD was compared with a control group. Doctors with CVD differed from controls in respect of their ability to detect, and in their confidence in the assessment of, abnormalities presented in clinical photographs. These findings suggest that doctors with CVD should take special care to ensure safe clinical practice. ER -
