Especially for those of us who grew up in the stupid times when a tan was considered healthy.

I've had a few ugly things cut out of me.

This is probably the nicest thing ever ever said concerning Trump...

...no, no, cant do it.

Those ugly things may have been glad to be rid of him.

I just hope that it happens while I am still alive.

The one nice thing about mortality, is that even total fuck wads die eventually.

There's a bruise above the eye and a small dent, possibly a cut, and the there's more marks on his eyelid.

I think it's a bruise and a small abrasion and there's more on his upper outside eyelid. That eye also wasn't as open as the other one. Maybe from swelling?

Something happened.

Look closely at Clinton's forehead. When I met him for the first time, he had just had a pre-cancerous lesion removed from his forehead. It was pretty small (easily visible in the photo), and they had removed the area around it.

I don't think Trump's whatever-it-is resembles that at all. Either he bumped into Jefferson's bust in the East Wing and Jefferson didn't like it, or Melania whacked him one.

A place somewhat more ikely to get dog-ears, but the size of the excision was dictated by the size and depth of the lesion and the need to get clean margins (because this particular kind of lesion grows back if there is any of it left). This is the scar from the second excision, after the first failed to get clean margins and grew back before the first had even healed.

As president, and not one to scoff at medical issues, it may be that as soon as he noticed something, he brought it to the attention of his doctors, and they acted before his thing had a chance to grow. He was the same way with his chest pains, and that probably saved his life. A quintuple bypass BEFORE a heart attack means he was paying attention to the signals his body was sending him.

Same thing happened to me in 2004, and I escaped a possibly-fatal heart attack and the need for open heart surgery by mere hours, if the head professor at the clinic that treated me is to be believed.

I was in the Cleveland Clinic within a week of the lesion changing (it had been there a while - and didn't have any of the ABCs that warn of cancer, then it suddenly dramatically in a short period of time - the C in ABC).

Unfortunately, since I wanted an appointment sooner than 3 months out (standard wait time, even for lesions that have classic cancer characteristics), I had to take the doc who had open appointments because he was the only one no one wanted to see.

He initially refused to biopsy it. I insisted. He made me come back later (not standard) did a half-baked job - didn't get clean margins (even though he told me he did). I had to insist on talking to pathology to learn that even though the general type of lesion is pretty common and benign, the characteristic that made it come back quickly (and two other characteristics) means it is a sub-type that may only mimic the benign form - and that it should be treated as cancerous even though it is not formally classified that way.

So I was being extremely proactive (I nearly always am). I'm not sure that learning it did not have clean margins would have prevented the need for a second excision (although had I insisted they go back in right away might have made the second excision smaller and at an angle more conducive to avoiding dog ears).

My wife, who was a social worker here in Germany, used to work with down-and-out people and try to re-train them and place them back in the workforce. One woman she was working with was having cramps and stiffening joints, and from summers with me in New England, my wife knew about Lyme disease, which at the time was practically unknown in Germany (this is going back maybe 20 years). The local doctors here refused to test this poor woman for Lyme disease until my wife insisted, and one doctor reluctantly ordered the test (surprise, surprise, she had had Lyme disease for months, and some of the symptoms were irreversible). This woman had spent some of her summers in Hungary, where Lyme disease was not uncommon even back then.

Wed Nov 22, 2017, 04:51 PM
Nov 2017

"Wer ist hier der Artzt, Sie oder ich?"

"Who is the doctor here, you or me?"

We have taken great pains (and a lot of time) to seek out doctors here who do NOT have that attitude, but it isn't easy, and my wife, as a "second class" patient under the German system, gets the "stand in line with the rest of the cattle" treatment unless she can convince the doctor's appointments secretary of the urgency of her case. With her cancer last year, the diagnosing doctor luckily got on the case himself, as he recognized that she had a rare and usually fatal form of cancer in its initial stage. She lucked out that time, got treated and operated on by a top specialist with 20 days instead of 12 weeks, and that alone is probably the only reason I still have her with me today.
