Hello,
Leroy spotted a spot on my back that
he did not like the looks of. He took a picture. I could not say that it looked
too bad, but he took a picture about a week later. It had not changed much. He
visited the dermatologist for his regular check up and talked to one of the
nurses. They could not tell either from the pictures, but thought having it
checked was advisable. I tried calling the phone number for this group that has
offices in many places in the country. I was put on hold so I decided to use
the local number that the doctor had given me when I told him about my inability
to convince the scheduler that I needed to be seen sooner and I really did need
a timely appointment. The front desk could not get me in, before the month of May,
so they routed me back to his nurse. She found some time for a quick look the
next day. I was impressed with this ability.
When the doctor started looking he
could not find the spot. I had to help with some idea of where it was. This is
all a little hard since I cannot see it. He did find it, but checked my entire
back and declared it and the spot just fine and not a concern.
I could not decide if I wanted there
to be a problem or if it was ok to take their valuable time for nothing. Guilt
set in a little although the doctor assured me that we should check things out.
He also complimented us for paying attention to each other’s skin. I will see
him again in October for a full body check which I do once a year.
