Chapter 16

Michael never did have his flu shot. Following Dr. Ghosh’s decision to refer him upstairs, there were phone calls and a flurry of paperwork as Michael was sent two floors up to the dermatology group of which Dr. Theos Alexander was a member. He sat in the waiting room feeling slightly rattled. Jesus H, I just wanted a fucking flu shot.

A nurse called his name and Michael followed her back to an examination room. “I’m Shelley,” she said. She checked his paperwork. “And you were sent up here by Dr. Ghosh?”

Michael nodded. “I was in for my flu shot and I guess they saw something they didn’t like.”

She smiled kindly. “Dr. Alexander will be with you shortly.”

He sat on the end of a standard examination table, the green vinyl cushion covered by a strip of white paper that rattled as he shifted. The door opened and a short older gentleman with shaggy white hair and black-framed glasses entered.

“You are Michael?” he asked. Michael nodded. “I am Dr. Alexander. Dr. Ghosh says that there’s a spot on your left shoulder that makes him nervous. Let’s have a look, shall we?”

Michael removed his shirt and rolled up the undershirt sleeve again. The doctor held Michael’s arm at the elbow and looked closely. “Hmmm, yes, I see what he means.”

He released Michael’s arm and sat on a stool, putting notes into a laptop. “We’ll remove that now and send it out for biopsy.” Dr. Alexander didn’t bother to look at Michael as he typed. “I hope you don’t have plans for the rest of the day. Of course, we’ll use local anesthetic but you’ll probably be a little sore after it wears off.”

Michael swallowed hard. “Right now?”

The doctor nodded as Shelley returned pushing a tray covered with a green cloth. She handed Michael a hospital gown. “You should put this on so we don’t ruin your clothes.”

Wordlessly, Michael took the gown from her and when he returned from behind the screen in the corner of the room, he was dressed in the gown and his socks. The tray had been uncovered and Michael saw an array of nasty looking surgical steel implements. The nurse noticed his ashen expression.

“It’s okay,” she smiled reassuringly. “It’s not nearly as scary as it looks.”

Michael tried to swallow but found that his mouth was dry.

“Alright Michael, lean back and relax your arm on this armrest,” the doctor told him. “I just want to outline the incision area.” He prodded around on Michael’s shoulder for a bit then using a black marker, he drew a pointed oval shaped like an eye around the spot. “Now this is where we’re going to make the incision.”

Michael looked up at him in alarm. “Holy shit! I just thought you were going to scrape the skin a little.”

The older man shook his head. “If this is a melanoma, which I’m almost certain that it is, we want to be sure to get all of it.”

Melanoma? Holy fuck! Michael felt panic rising in his belly.
