VaxxY Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Im really hoping someone on neowin knows where one is located if it exists... i have really annoying chicken-pox like dots all over me but except its not chicken pox. 3 doctors looked at it and had no idea what the hell it was. i got a biopsy done on one of them and the results showed that they had no clue what it was. im kinda scared now with this, its been 3 weeks now and i can barely get the nerve to go outside cause i look so ridiculous anyone know of a good forum where people would know about this?

HellBender Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Three certified doctors physically look at your spots with no clue, and you expect that someone on an online forum will know what you describe with a very vague description? I highly suggest you go see a higher doctor, or visit a larger hospital. If they have no idea what it is, the doctor should not call you and tell you "hey bud, I have no idea wtf you have. Have a nice day." They should propagate the reports up the tree until either they find out what it is, or discover something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Hotsausage Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 He might explain it better there, seeing as how he just wanted to know if anyone knew of a forum with dermatologists. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellBender Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Here's some :rolleyes: And the first question on the first forum, surprisingly, sounds like what you have.

IlliniPi Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I'd have to agree with HellBender on this. You might be able to find another dermatologist through one of the ones you visited, maybe one who has more experience than the previous ones.

VaxxY Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 if they're telling you hey don't know whats wrong then they're not doing their job :p the thing is theres literally retards working in the medical field here in canada. i spent 6 (yes SIX) hours in the hospital waiitng the see a freaking doctor about this thing. this was 3 weeks ago. finally, i was called in and the doctor had no idea what it was. he got 2 other guys to look at it who also didnt know what it was. then he took a peice out, gave me stiches, and sent it for a biopsy and told me results would be in within 2 weeks. today (more than 3 weeks later) my family doctor calls and says they have no idea whats wrong. this is with a biopsy. i mean they took the entire thing and ran tests on it in a lab and still they have no idea what the hell it is. and now he wants me to go for a blood test. once that comes back (hell have no idea whats going on) hell tell me to see a dermatologist. all in the meanwhile im left sitting here letting my life leech out of my hands because for a month now it looks like i have freaking chicken pox. theyre all idiots here, id rather them say "i dont know please see a dermatologist" then pretend they know whats going on and make me go through test after test and wait weeks for results.
