Another poor doctor story. Went to the dermatologist yesterday, I thought the recommendation was every year for mole checks but I guess that has been changed.

At any rate it has been at least 3 years. So had my check and she seemed to scold me for even caring.

She actually laughed at me and said something to the effect that I don't need checks every year at 50!

What? 50 is old? I could see her saying that if I was 30. In my case it is even more necessary because I live alone and can't see anything on the back of me.

I also asked if I could have some of the benign moles removed.. she goes, well insurance won't really pay for it and there is nothing wrong. Ie. they aren't bleeding or anything.. but one has formed on my neck and it looks nasty. I was annoyed because I have a Flex health account that I need to spend down so .. that was my thinking.

I guess I am just going to ignore her because I really don't care what she thinks... this is my only life and if my insurance pays for the appointment (or even if it doesn't) that is my business.

But I am just stupified... medicine has gotten so bad. The entire waiting room was filled with elderly people over 70. It was like I was telling her I was wasting her time.

My practice sometimes sends me evaluations this one will a doozy.
