A punch biopsy was performed and the lab could not determine what it
was, only that it was benign, thus a squamous?
I did not see this report but wish to get a copy. 
The lesion was removed two weeks ago and on one of the forms I signed
I said I wanted the removed tissue. They thought this was quite
strange and did not give me my removed skin.
I also was put under general anesthetic without my permission when
this could easily have been performed under local. The Dr. and I had a
disagreement about the need for a skin graft. I am near positive this
guy was trying to milk me and my insurance for extra uneeded surgery.
I had made a written change to their form and denied them use of
general anesthesia. In a pre-op discussion with the anesthesiologist
and the surgeon it was agreed to use a local from my knee down since
the lesion was on my ankle. And on my other leg if graft was needed. I
also have a spinal injury that has left me with no pain sensation
below my chest making even a local uneccesary. I was to be awake for
the proceedure. I didn't trust this guy that much as he had already
overlooked things in prior examinations. They lied to me, nurses
included, and once on the table stuck an IV in me and I was out like a
light for about 2 hours.
One wonders why people don't trust Dr,'s these days when they do shit
like this.
I will not return to the Dr. or clinic and will be removing my own
stitches in about another week. Also planning to sue the Dr. for
malpractice. Asshole deserves to have his license revoked.
