It is already starting. My family bugged me and bugged me to get an appointment with a dermatologist to take a look at a dark spot on my face they thought might be cancerous.

This is in SW Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, home of some of the best hospitals and top medical schools in the country . . . and, by extension, some of the best doctor to patient ratios in the country as well.

I have a better than average medical plan from work, but it was still going to take over one month. So I did some research on-line and found that frankincense was effective in combating skin cell cancer. It wasn't cheap, but I ordered a bottle and the spot is now so small that my family thought the dermatologist (whose appointment I cancelled) actually treated it.

I've been going to the same dermatology office since the mid 70s and even today it takes a little more a week to ten days to get in.
But they're specialists and I still have a hard time believing a sick patient has to wait eight weeks to see a GP.
BTW, I sincerely hope you make another appointment even after being "cured" by frankincense.
