As a graduate student, he studied mathematics at the Université de Paris and University of California, San Diego (MA in mathematics, 1971). He graduated from the School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco in 1976 and spent eight additional years in advanced postgraduate training, with a masters degree in public health (biostatistics and epidemiology) from University of California, Berkeley; three years at University of California, Los Angeles as a resident in internal medicine (certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine, 1980; two years as a National Institute of Health research fellow in clinical pharmacology; and three years at University of California, Irvine as a resident in dermatology (certification by the American Board of Dermatology, 1984)[1] [2]
Klein is currently associate clinical professor of dermatology at University of California, Irvine College of Medicine[3] and in private practice in San Juan Capistrano, California. He lives in Newport Beach, California.[1]
Tumescent anesthesia
Tumescent anesthesia is a combination of highly diluted lidocaine and epinephrine. The subcutaneous infiltration of a large volume of this fluid causes the targeted tissue to become swollen and firm, or tumescent, and permits procedures to be performed on patients without general anesthesia while minimizing blood loss due to the vasoconstrictive effect of epinephrine.[4]"
