These damned doctors down here. I had what I was pretty sure was a skin cancer cut off my head a while back. I had a dispute with the cutter, now they don't want me as a patient, but they are legally obligated to let me know what the biopsy results were. So the letter came in the mail yesterday.

I have an atypical squamous proliferation (ASP). They said that an untreated skin cancer may continue to enlarge, bleed, damage the skin & surrounding structures and potentially spread to lymph nodes and other organs, leading to death.

So that's the way it works here. Back in Tennessee I had a couple of these removed. They performed the biopsy on the spot, and removed it. No more return visits needed.

Here, they require a return visit, if you haven't pissed them off and they find a malignancy. Then they send you a letter saying you better get your ass in here, or you're going to die.

I've got three AI's going on at the moment. Copilot is working on my code, I'm creating some new images for Shelby with openAI, and I just asked ChatGPT how serious an ASP is.

It's answer was: It means that there are abnormal squamous cells present, but the features are not definitive enough to diagnose a specific condition, such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or dysplasia. In some cases, ASP may represent a precancerous change or an early-stage malignancy, while in others, it may be a benign reactive process.

That excision has totally healed up. I know the top of my head very well, and I don't have any cancer spreading to my fucking lymph nodes!
