I had an appointment re a lesion on my scalp. This was cancelled due to lockdown, then re-scheduled for late July. Contact who phoned me was very pleasant and kind.
On Tuesday, I was seen as soon as I arrived in the department by a young doctor, whose name I didn't catch. He was kind and patient, explaining the different types of skin cancer likely affecting me. He took time to explain how the lesion could be removed and possible effect of not having it removed. I agreed to proceed.
I then met the team consisting of Claire, David and Barbara, who explained some more. I signed the consent form.
The lesion was removed and a graft applied. Injection of anesthetic was extremely painful. I was treated again with kindness and patience, particularly in their attitude to a less than patient patient!
