...I don't think you understand. I'd been to see a dermatologist about a year prior, who had looked
at the thing, said it looked fine to him, and basically done nothing.......zip, nada.
So I'm calling that a "not a dermitalogical exam" due to practitioner incompetence or general lack of interest.
He died mysteriously about a year and a half ago, and was kinda strange anyway.
They sent me a letter because i was a "former patient".
He and the guy I now see (who actually did the biopsy and Dx) were the only two dermatologists
I could access with my insurance here...which is supposed to be decent insurance.
His waiting room was furnished with Victorian antiques. I hope he is in some similarly furnished circle in hell.
If you have no history, family or otherwise, of any sort of skin cancer, it is entirely possible to go
to visit a board certified dermatologist and still die of cancer.......not to be a prick about it.
