Hey, there is precedence on this one.

The next day, he does get it checked and it was malignant tumor, and then the team twitter account asks Twitter to identify her. She wakes up from a sleep after an long shift, turns on her phone and it is blowing up as everyone she knows has been trying to get ahold of her. Both her team and the opposing team gave her free season tickets and money to pay for her continuing education in the medical field. The Doctor’s Portrayal of Dermatologists might be spot on...

@marlenegold280 Similar thing happened to Ben Brainard. He was just posting his normal videos and people started commenting that his neck looked different and he should get it checked out. Turns out it was thyroid cancer!
I saw a Dermatologist for a Lipoma removal. When I read my chart note a week later, I saw about 17 diagnoses. Every single scrape, bruise, boil, pustule, mole, wart, freckle, or I don't know what I've had since birth was noted, coded, and described in great detail. She looked at me for 60 seconds. People often underestimate how much studying Derms do during/after clinic. In terms of text, it nearly rivals medical school. They've memorized an insane amount of conditions, and are the masters at differentiating the benign lesion vs. the silent disease lurking beneath. Oh being beautiful helps.
On my ED rotation, we had a guy come in for a rash. In looking through his history, he came to the ED a few days prior for it, was diagnosed with "Rash" and referred to dermatology, who saw him in their office earlier on the day I saw him and diagnosed him with "Rash" and sent him back to the ED for further evaluation.

Same. My dermatologist has been one of the few people to show me kindness regarding my eczema and has worked to get me the treatments I need for most of my life, since I have many allergies and very fluctuating severity.

Those of us who've had appalling acne (bad enough that yeah, we did actually stick to everything) but were helped by a dermatologist definitely appreciate them; it is due to my dermo that I eventually stopped looking like a walking chunk of mincemeat.
My daughter with eczema was sticking to everything for months as a baby. I had been scared away from hydrocortisone by people I knew but finally did it out of desperation and it was THE solution. Prior to that we had to wrap the baby's arms and sometimes legs in gauze every day because her skin was covered with open weeping sores.
This is sooo true. I told my GP about how itchy my ears were, and he prescribed antibacterial, steroids, anything you can think of. Had no idea what it was. Finally he listened when we told him again "Psoriasis runs in our family." He sent us to a dermatologist and I kid you not, I sat down, dude looked in my ears and said "Yep, that's psoriasis."

Sir, I feel you, even though I am like 25+ years telemetry DOU night nurse I still one of my favorite sayings is did you know that your skin is your largest organ in your body?

I appreciate dermatology very much. I come from a family with dysplastic nevus syndrome. For those not aware, that's the skin condition that makes you WAY more likely to develop melanoma.
Some derm findings can highlight the presence of other systemic diseases. Plaque psoriasis and lupus anyone? Plus, early diagnosis of skin cancers can literally save your life. Sure, they do deal with a higher percentage of cosmetic procedures, but there's a whole lot of other skin maladies that can limit a person's quality of life. Even if it's something as "simple" as a cyst or lipoma, a fungal infection, eczema, hyperhydrosis, or acne. I've had a few crappy derms in terms of bedside manner and possible treatments (when my vitiligo was dx I was given a tiny tube of spf 50 sunscreen and a small pamphlet of sun protective clothing) but diagnosing my skin conditions has helped bring to light more serious autoimmune diseases.
All the respect for dermatology, caring for the largest organ, people (me) convinced every last spot is melanoma (I know you said it's just a hive, but talk me down from mycosis fungoides, I've been on Google today), dealing with little kids using retinol because that's now a thing, diagnosing lupus and weird gastric diseases left and right and seeing all the credit go to Rheumatology and Gastro.
Ninja got diagnosed with melanoma and the majority of his followers dismissed it and thought it was like getting a wart removed. Uh, no. It has killed more in a young demographic as far as cancers go than most. Also the cheek thing gets me. My mom had a small mass in her cheek her dentist found. He didn't think it was a salivary gland issue and told her to get it checked with someone else. It was melanoma. She died 10 months later.

All the respect for dermatology, caring for the largest organ, people (me) convinced every last spot is melanoma (I know you said it's just a hive, but talk me down from mycosis fungoides, I've been on Google today), dealing with little kids using retinol because that's now a thing, diagnosing lupus and weird gastric diseases left and right and seeing all the credit go to Rheumatology and Gastro.
Ninja got diagnosed with melanoma and the majority of his followers dismissed it and thought it was like getting a wart removed.
Uh, no. It has killed more in a young demographic as far as cancers go than most.
Also the cheek thing gets me. My mom had a small mass in her cheek her dentist found. He didn't think it was a salivary gland issue and told her to get it checked with someone else. It was melanoma. She died 10 months later.

Yes, they can refuse to accept you!
