7 years ago, I sat in the auditorium as a resident, learning Dermoscopy for the first time in the AAFP skin course. In the past few days, I joined my mentors as a faculty/speaker for the same course. I’m full of gratitude. I know I’ve got a long way to go. But I will also take the small wins. 🥹🩵

Full body skin cancer screenings are extremely rare in Japan.
This newly advertised service, in Meguro, is reasonably priced and, who knows, might just save someone's life.

Long story short, suspicious mole on my neck. Bleeds/weeps unprovoked. Keeping it covered 24/7 to prevent myself from damaging it. Ticks all the ABCDE boxes.
Got the dermoscopy done. From what I can tell, it may have a negative pigment network pattern throughout, and is generally suspicious.

One of my oldest friends is a doctor. She's specialized in dermatology in the last fifteen years though she's too old to go back and do all the things to become a dermatologist. AI of sorts has played a huge role in dermoscopy for a long time. Her thoughts on the future of medicine are interesting.
Congressional Bill supports computers being given prescribing privileges!?!?! 🤯
One of the first initiatives of the MAGA - techno-corporate ruling coalition - getting rid of the doctors:
"To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to clarify that artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can qualify as a practitioner eligible to prescribe drugs..."
