"Being a man getting old"

About: Chesterfield Royal Hospital / Dermatology

(as a service user),

It all started back in 1947.  A baby boy, then you start to get older and no one tells you you’re being stupid.  Sunshine…someone should have shouted ‘put a hat on.  Then when you start work and you try to look ‘cool’ arc welding without a full face mask.  Idiot…the sun pushes out radiation but not half as an arc welder.  Radiation = skin cancers.  So that’s how I ended up in Dermatology having bits chopped off my head. Not the best way to lose weight.

Next old men visit toilets regularly so there are tests, none really painful but forget having dignity.  The internal camera examination is a weird sensation.  I think mine was worse because I think there was a full camera crew, sound recordist, lighting crew and director.  Luckily they found nothing
