So what I thought would be a ten minute appt with the dermatologist ended up being a little over two hours. Apparently I have this rash that they had to biopsy since he couldn't figure out what it was and in the midst of getting the biopsy done the assistant says, "oh NO", to which I responded, "what???????". Apparently part of an instrument got "stuck" inside me. Then the doctor starts talking about how they need to put initials on the instruments so that he can hold whoever made it accountable. That's when apparently I turned 6 shades of white and my lips turned blue and I passed out.
So I'm a wee bit shakey now.
This wasn't Dr. Lewis by any chance, was it???
lol. No Dr. Goldberg. He's supposedly one of the best. I've always wanted to go to the guy that Mattie in the Morning has on his show but I always forget his name.
Oh I haven't heard the guy on Matty. I'm looking for a good recommendation cuz I need to go see someone about my psoriasis. I used to go to Dr. Lewis, but I've heard that he's some kind of loon, so I don't really wanna go back to him. How is Goldberg? Ahem, besides getting his instruments stuck in you, that is.
ETA: LOL, I didn't mean it to sound like that! Hahahahah
rofl...the guy is in his 70's too so that's not a mental image I wanna be keeping!!! He is GOOD. Seriously my mom has been to the best of the best at MGH and she still goes back to him 'cause he knows his stuff. The instrument wasn't his fault, it was a faulty scapel but the assistant should NOT have said anything. I remember once when I was 16 working for my dad, who is a periodontist, he had me hold the suction thingy that sucked the blood out of the way while he did the surgery and we got a big gusher of a patient and I squealed, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW"
He swiftly got me out of the room and had a hygenist take my place and i was never allowed to do that again. That was the end of my medical career.
Anyway I think he's good. He could have just given me a cream and sent me on my way but he actually scraped skin off, looked at it under a microscope for an unGodly amount of time and then came back and swiftly did the biopsy. I guess he thinks its a form of Lupus. It's either that or lyme disease but since I've never been near a tick he doesn't think that's it.
I'm still dizzy!!!
