It is just over a year ago I underwent removal of a cancerous growth on my scalp that had to be sealed with a skin graft from my stomach all because Dr Rabner, who examined the open, burst cyst on my head that turned cancerous three times in the decade prior kept telling me "NOTHING could be done." First time she just ignored it, addressing a separate problem, and when I mentioned that I had come about the cyst too, got a simple shrug. Second time went to her because she is who I was sent by a GP and she had such good reviews and I thought perhaps because I was really there for other issue that first time I would get better results with a second visit. This time Dr. Rabner went into a long, medical explanation this about why NOTHING could be done even asking, "well what's bothering you?" My response, "having an open sore on my head doctor!" launched her into a steroid treatment that time. (Third visit with her was also about another issue she didn't fix, but I was sure to mention the sore again and have it ignored again)
Her response should have been to explain at first visit, over a decade back, that dermatologists don't do removals from the scalp, which is what another dermatologist finally told me, referring me to a surgeon who did the initial cyst removal in his office less than a week after my first visit with him. If that had happened 10 years prior I would've avoided cancer, anesthesia, a skin graft, and a permanent bald patch and dent in my head.
