WEBVTT 00:07.820 --> 00:10.479 So , dermatology um is the specialty 00:10.489 --> 00:13.500 that deals with hair , skin and nails . 00:13.960 --> 00:16.469 Um , it's , it's the best specialty , 00:16.479 --> 00:18.423 although I'm probably a little bit 00:18.423 --> 00:20.729 biased . Um , it's , it's a great mix . 00:20.739 --> 00:24.549 We take care of babies from day 00:24.559 --> 00:28.479 one to people who are 100 plus 00:31.200 --> 00:32.978 it's exciting . It's new . It's 00:32.978 --> 00:34.756 different . It's kind of seeing 00:34.756 --> 00:36.811 clinical patients . It's doing small 00:36.811 --> 00:39.099 procedures , it's doing big procedures . 00:40.000 --> 00:42.167 It's , it's interesting , it's dealing 00:42.167 --> 00:44.389 with something that is very visible and 00:44.389 --> 00:46.500 hands on . Um , so I think people who 00:46.500 --> 00:48.556 kind of enjoy the , the hands on the 00:48.556 --> 00:50.500 procedures . Um , it's , it's very 00:50.500 --> 00:53.209 rewarding . Um , you know , some things 00:53.220 --> 00:55.430 that , um even if they're not , not 00:55.439 --> 00:57.606 life threatening that are , you know , 00:57.606 --> 00:59.889 the people's biggest complaint , you 00:59.900 --> 01:01.900 know , we can address them and it's 01:01.900 --> 01:04.011 wonderful when we get to address them 01:04.011 --> 01:06.178 fairly quickly with the procedure with 01:06.178 --> 01:08.289 kind of a right diagnosis and like it 01:08.289 --> 01:10.289 makes a huge difference in people's 01:10.289 --> 01:12.400 lives . Um , in addition to obviously 01:12.400 --> 01:14.733 dealing with skin cancer and , you know , 01:14.733 --> 01:16.400 the more kind of serious life 01:16.400 --> 01:16.239 threatening things that we deal with as 01:16.250 --> 01:18.800 well . Um But it's great that 01:18.809 --> 01:20.976 dermatology kind of opens that door to 01:20.976 --> 01:23.680 take care of all of those things and 01:23.690 --> 01:25.912 you're not limited to , to kind of just 01:25.912 --> 01:28.246 doing one group or the other , you know , 01:28.246 --> 01:30.357 diagnosing and treating a melanoma on 01:30.357 --> 01:32.634 somebody that you may have killed them . 01:32.634 --> 01:35.720 Like that is extremely rewarding and , 01:35.730 --> 01:37.952 you know , kind of knowing literally or 01:37.952 --> 01:40.230 changing and saving that person's life . 01:40.300 --> 01:43.750 Um I think other kind of more , more , 01:43.760 --> 01:45.704 more typically thought of parts of 01:45.704 --> 01:47.816 dermatology would be , you know , the 01:47.816 --> 01:49.927 acne again , the discolorations , the 01:49.927 --> 01:52.038 rashes , the eczema , the psoriasis . 01:52.038 --> 01:53.871 And so when you're , when you're 01:53.871 --> 01:56.093 impacting people's self confidence , um 01:56.093 --> 01:58.204 you know , when you're helping a high 01:58.204 --> 02:00.260 schooler do better in school because 02:00.260 --> 02:02.371 they , they feel more confident , you 02:02.371 --> 02:04.427 know , they're participating in more 02:04.427 --> 02:07.489 programs because not that their , you 02:07.500 --> 02:09.389 know , skin condition necessarily 02:09.389 --> 02:11.611 limits their performance , but maybe it 02:11.611 --> 02:13.889 just impacts their attitude negatively . 02:13.889 --> 02:16.000 So it's wonderful . I've had many , 02:16.009 --> 02:18.065 many . Um usually it's the parents , 02:18.065 --> 02:20.550 not the patients themselves , show me 02:20.559 --> 02:22.509 the prom photos and , you know , 02:22.550 --> 02:24.661 they'll do the before and after we'll 02:24.661 --> 02:26.883 do the therapies and somebody will come 02:26.883 --> 02:28.494 back and for a follow up and 02:28.494 --> 02:30.550 everything's going well and somebody 02:30.550 --> 02:32.383 will , you know , bring out that 02:32.383 --> 02:34.606 obligatory picture of , do you remember 02:34.606 --> 02:36.772 where we started ? Like , wow . Yeah , 02:36.772 --> 02:39.050 like I do . Um And it's great , I mean , 02:39.050 --> 02:41.710 it's , it's an everyday thing . Um But 02:41.720 --> 02:43.831 again , I , I would say that the skin 02:43.831 --> 02:45.664 cancers is , is the , you know , 02:45.664 --> 02:47.664 probably more impactful for me just 02:47.664 --> 02:49.887 knowing that , wow , you know , we , we 02:49.887 --> 02:51.831 we're treating skin cancer , we're 02:51.831 --> 02:53.887 taking cancer off of people's bodies 02:53.887 --> 02:56.164 that could potentially really , really , 02:56.164 --> 02:55.619 seriously hurt them .
