randomness...and they'll let me know what the biopsy says in a week or so. Meanwhile, I have some black nylon thread sticking out of me.
The whole experience was kind of a pain, particularly as the dermatologist was brusque and offhand, the assistant was cold, and the administrative staff looked like they clearly felt I wasn't pretty or vain enough to grace their office.
I did notice that all the staff were young, female, thin, and distant, and that botox info featured prominently in the examining room. I guess maybe they mostly deal with cosmetic surgery?
Hmmm. Perhaps I should go find another dermatologist. Any pointers?

By the way, dental hygeinists also tend to have that set of physical characteristics. The best one I've ever had, of course, is a 50-something, fat, grey-haired grandma.

I do believe you're right about that. The last dermatology clinic I went to was part of Yale's HMO. They were friendly and pleasant to deal with.
