>> I'm not going to argue, John, that everyone in healthcare are always people of integrity and aboveboard... No sir, I won't say that.... But skin cancers can be tricky - and often may spread in invisible "rays", not unlike a cracked windshield, but invisible to the eye. If I had a lesion on the "cheekbone" possibly moving towards the eye, given a choice, I'd prefer having a Mohs procedure.

I think one has to be very careful about re-interpreting a patient's interpretation of what happened. There may well have been some reason for handling the case as it was handled. I know nothing about it, obviously, but I doubt the original surgeon was thinking, "Gosh, I wonder how many of my buddies I can get involved in this procedure!" -- particularly when the Plastic Surgeon apparently got most of the money.

If she were that interested it seems as though she should have asked a few questions up front.
