I had a patient come back a week after I adjusted her glasses tighter, she said now there is a bigger problem, skin cancer. She now has a lump and dry flakey skin. I looked and saw a red sore. She argued it was cancer, not a sore. I gave her a magnifier mirror, so she could see the sore. Finally she saw it, but then asked what the flakey skin was. I asked what the skin disorder on her arms was, she said, exzyma. I said, OK, its not cancer, but looks like a sore and exzyma..go see your dermatologist. I swear I've never been accused of giving someone cancer in an adjustment from one week ago.
