        I finally saw another dermatologist yesterday and I liked him very much.  He did a shave biopsy on my neck but it seems like he did a very deep one, as far as I can tell.  He sent me across the street to a diagnotic lab to have bloodwork done which I wasn't expecting; they took 4 vials, and he also ordered chest x-rays.  I thought that was odd but didn't say anything.  I just didn't expect a dermatologist to send me to blood lab and radiology before results of biopsy even back.  Of course, I'm thinking this means something, like he thinks something will be found.  Ah well, I'm just glad to finally be getting to the bottom of this situation.
