This was\u00A0followed by numbing of the area and cutting a small sample with a\u00A0scalpel-\u00A0all of which was done by a physicians assistant/nurse with no sign of a doctor\u00A0\u00A0to my knowledge.\u00A0\u00A0\"We will send this to the lab and give you a call with the results.\" Having already been quite certain of the results myself I asked \u00A0\"then what?\" \"We do the same thing in office, some numbing and cut with the scalpel but it will be done by the doctor and she will cut more.\" The whole appointment was treated with a very casual manner.. felt routine and impersonal.\n\nA few weeks later I get the call, a voicemail stating it was my doctor and she recieved the results, and to please call back. I called back immediately and asked for the doctor by\u00A0name and said I was returning a call about my results. The receptionist replied the doctor was not\u00A0available\u00A0and after some hesitation informed me that I tested positive for\u00A0BCC\u00A0skin cancer and they wanted to schedule the follow up procedure, based on the doctors and my schedule, this was booked for 2 months out."^^ . .
