because... I don't feel like taking the risk anymore.
I *could* take the risk and if it was me or mine, I
probably would but with a patient who would undoubtedly
sue the pants off me as soon as shake my sweaty paw...
why worry? Let them worry. Let the hospital worry about
its shitty waiting lists. Gotta mole? Looks all right to
me.... but.... YOU NEVER KNOW, DO YOU???? - off you go to
see the plastic bloke. Waiting list? Oh, six months. have
some benzos to keep you calm why you wait.
Responsible medicine? Don't make me laugh.
