s fakes are not great? I cant see the difference. Either they are your bag (no pun) or they arent.

Check my comments on this photo yesterday... As I said then, after looking at Brooke's utterly perfect legs, abs and perfectly proportioned hips (not to mention a ridiculously stand-at-anttention ass you can't see in this shot), who the hell even cares about the tits? She'd be hot as hell if she had no tits at all.

Oh, and her face is pretty damn easy on the eyes, fake or not.

they make notes on appearance and cut out that which changes. it might be "churning the file" or it might be caution, but getting a mole removed is pretty simple. the one I had, he just basically uses a cookis cutter type thing and then its out. only a little scar left. it might be simplest to get it out rather than go for a second opinion, unless its more than the cookie cutter 30 second thing.

It is not raised=- so it would be an exacto knife job I guess, leaving a scar.

I just dont see this guy reading a description of said spot on my chart and then taking a half second to look at it. . I got a bad vibe. Where on the internet can I find feedback?

I've seen photos of this chick sans makeup, on the beach, in a string bikini, walking out of the water, caught by paparazzi...

and she's very fucking hot. This picture dolls her up too much.

Why can't a good-looking girl just be a good-looking girl? Maybe some of these women have had plastic surgery, but there ARE some women that are just naturally stunning. Without the nose job. Without the liposuction. Without the makeup. Yes, they are SO good-looking that it seems impossible for them to look that way without plastic surgery. But they do. And they aren't THAT rare. I can name 4-5 I've known since elementary school (and thus can almost certainly rule out plastic surgery) that are just unbelievably attractive. Their noses have ALWAYS been that small, and their breasts have always been that perfect (at least when I started noticing that sort of thing - when you're 13 you can ogle other 13 year olds). It sometimes happens that way in nature. Some people's comments just REEK of jealousy.

I don't get that example. She's ugly but she has a nice body. Not too skinny by any stretch of the imagination. You don't have to have excess body weight to be healthy.

1) Maybe. Physicans are trained to make quick decisions as soon as they feel that they have a grasp on the situation. This makes for fairly good health care, but it's a fucking pain in the ass when you have to work with them outside of the health care setting. Their mindset is "examine, make diagnosis, set treatment course," and they tend to do it very quickly. It's sometimes hard to get them to reassess the diagnosis or treatment in the non-healthcare setting.

[4] There are some resources out there on MDs but most of them are not accessable to the general public. The National Practitioner Data Base has malpractice, medical board and medical staff issues on file. Some of the medical boards have on-line information on the physician, so you might want to check your state's medical board webpage. It's likely, though, that all it will say is "action taken" or "no history of discipline". The best source of information on a physician are other physicians and especially nurses. Talking to other patients is generally not as helpful, because patients tend to concern themselves with bedside manner, and not the quality of the healthcare that is given.

1) I am not sure this is totally helpful, or even relevant (the nonmedical part). The "it changed" thing when I dont think it has troubles me.

Are you saying there are no chat rooms or whatnot where people write in about their experiences, like they would a bad piece of electronics?

Why not go to another derm? It can take forever to get an appointment in these parts but if you say "I'm afraid I have a (pre)cancerous lesion" you may get in more quickly. Although rushing through appointments is unfortunately all too typical, if you don't like the vibe from the guy, don't have him treat you, even if the internet says he's the best doctor in the world.

I haven't been following your posts (sorry), but based on my recent experience I would advise you to have it removed. Get him to biopsy it then. If it's cancerous, you'll probably have to get more tissue removed (not a big deal). If not, you're fine.

I think everyone would prefer a silent ketchup. Commenting on these pictures is SO yesterday...

Sorry. Assumed youwould want to see the pics again. Guess you got a good whack in. Did you tie a thong around the doorknob so your roomie woudlnt disturb you?

I'm a little surprised she even conceived -- the minimum level of body fat for regular menstruation (and hence, regular ovulation) is considered to be about 17 or 18% (there are exceptions, of course). Now I haven't gotten close enough to Debra Messing to whip out the calipers, but she's cutting it close.

Bullshit on that body fat cite. I am 18percent body fat according to my gym's calipers, menstruate regularly and have PMS even more so. I doubt anyone would call me skinny, much less Messing skinny. That number would have to be more like 14 percent bc I dont think I am a percent or two away from ribs as accessories. And if Sarah Jessica Parker could carry a baby to term, it might be even lower.

Its not jealousy at all and how fucking dare you say so. You don't understand and the fact that you think its jealousy, despite my (or anyone else's) inability to articulate another credible reason for certain* envy-tinged comments regarding the women in these photos, shows just how ignorant you are.

* Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, "certain" implies "not all."

I second the just get it removed and stop fucking around. It is his job to look for questionable moles. If he thinks it's questionable, get it removed.

I had a few biopsies this summer. Some raised, some flat. He took lots of skin and I have some lovely scars we will be treating with steroids.

You already had your rant for the day. Let's not get started again.

Reading comp: below 17-18% body fat causes amenhorrea and possible infertility in some women. Of course Messing appears to be below that level. That was the point.

But nice way to work in your body fat percentage.

Is this a Michael Hutchence autoerotic asphixiation joke?
