I was fortunate to train in dermatology under Dr. Sid Barsky, Dr. Bruce Bennin and the late Dr. Darryl Bronson.I learned so much from Dr. Barsky at Cook County Hospital during grand rounds and journal club. He was so devoted to teaching the dermatology residents at Cook County. I wish his family comfort during their time of grieving.

I too was fortunate enough to train in Dermatology at Cook County Hospital under Dr. Sid Barsky, the late Dr. Darryl Bronson, Dr. Bruce Bennin and Dr Kathleen Remlinger. The passion and wisdom of these doctors and their impact on how I practice Dermatology influences my practice every day. He lives on through us. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time.

I had the good fortune of spending 3 years training under Dr. Barsky. I learned more from him than almost anyone else in my life. I still think about what he would have said when I am in an exam room with a patient, now, over 35 years later. Thanks, you will be missed, and remembered.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Sidney Barsky. He was the ultimate master dermatologist. I was extremely fortunate to have trained at Cook County Hospital under Sid. His focus on clinical morphology and differential diagnosis gave us a remarkable foundation. Sid, thank you for sharing your knowledge, your commitment to teaching and being our role model. My deepest condolences to the Barsky family.

It's so strange, while I was vacationing during this time of his departure, Dr. Barsky was in my thoughts for some strange reason. Dr. Barsky and I shared a lot of his wartime memories and his passion he had with Dermatology - it was so exciting to hear about every last single experience and adventure, some so funny, some so sad. That's what I'll truly miss the most. This man was truly a legend who gave his ALL in Dermatology always needing to keep pace to stay updated in all that was new. He will truly be missed. My condolences to the family, especially Gary and Bonnie who I hope are trying to at least wiggle into his shoes. SMILE
