Draft body, not yet adapted

The exam is more thorough and less uncomfortable than most people expect. You change into a gown. Dr. Venable starts at the scalp and parts the hair in sections, then works down the face, behind and inside the ears, the neck, and along the hairline at the back. Arms including the underside, between the fingers, and the nail beds. Torso, front and back. Legs, then the soles of the feet and between the toes. A dermatoscope, which is a lit magnifier held against the skin, comes out for anything she wants a closer look at, and using it is not a signal that something is wrong. You are welcome to keep a gown on throughout and to say no to any part of it. Anything suspicious is photographed with your permission, measured, and either biopsied that visit or scheduled for a short interval recheck. The whole thing takes about thirty-five minutes. The single most common reason people delay is not fear of the result, it is not knowing what happens in the room, which is a solvable problem and the reason this exists.

Growth is uneven for the first two seasons and comparing month four to month five tells you almost nothing. Month nine is the first point where a density count means something, and month twelve to fourteen is when the result is fair to judge. We book the month nine appointment on the day of surgery.

You sit down, you talk for ten minutes, I watch your face move, we write a plan, and roughly a third of the time the plan is not what you came in for. Fifty dollars, credited to your first appointment.
