LAMB — I am very concerned about skin cancer. ] know there must be several people who have it and think it’s just a spot that will go away. That’s what I thought about the spot on my back. It turned pink and I decided to go into the doctor's office and have it checked after ignoring it for a white. He cut it out and sent it to the lab. ft was skin cancer. The doctor said he get it all out and not to worry. I hope I can take his word for it. I was told the sun rays can cause skin cancer, Please tell us more about it and also about moles. : ; DEAR READER — Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers, Fortunately, with the exception of cancer from moles (malignant melanomas) they usuatly do not spread to other parts of the body. They only cause local tissue destruction and can be cured simply by cut- ting out all of the area in- volved. That can become a fair sized area though if the cancer 15 neglected.

They should be seen by a doctor and removed. Sun rays are radiation. Thé ultraviolet radiation from the sun causes these spots and is the major factor in causing skin cancer.

DEAR READER — The .most important consideration is not climate but the availability of good medical help and that usually means the availability of a rheumatology clinic or at least a Specialist in rheumatology. Friends and relatives who will help and good medical help comes first." If all other factors are equal I would vote for a warm, dry climate, although the evidence that such a climate is really beneficial for arthritis is meager at best. DEAR DR, LAMB — I would like to know If it is con: sidered ‘common knowledge that when going into the hospital the operating doctor should be told personally by the patient about any medica- tion being taken by him? Or should it be enough to teil the nurse who takes the medicine away what it is for and assume that the doctor will see the notation on the chart and will continue issuing it? DEAR READER — Where human beings are concerned never assume anything. You can't even be sure that the in- formation will get on the chart in time for the doctor to see it. My advice to all patients is to give the doctor any information they want him to know if they want to be sure he gets it. If you are taking a lot of medicines write a list of them and be sure the doctor gels the lst when he takes your history or examines you, CVEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.) 6486, This Notice isgiven by the Council o of November, 1978.

A good example is a subungual hematoma — the medical name for the bleed clot that forms under a finger or thumb nail after you have hit it with a hammer. Toes are not immune either, and I will always remember visiting an wn-_ cle’s farm when 1 was nine years old, I was priming the weelhead pump with one hand on the handle when the burly farmhand pumped a full. vigorous stroke, squashing my finger against the pump. The excruciating pain was just beginning to subside three days later when my great toe nail was stepped on by a horse. There is probably na need to describe the pain caused by a subungual hematoma — most of us have ex- Help World Vision Would you be willing to give up $15 a month to support a needy Child through World Vision of Canada.

You know that it is not going to kill you but sometimes you - almost wish it would. Fingers are made for feeling and are endowed with a generous nerve supply. Pressure on the nerve endings causes pain. When the fingernail is struck, bleeding occurs beneath it, Blood is pumped into the area at a pressure approximating the person's blood pressure. Because the fingernail is rigid and the un orlying bone is also hard, there is no place for the clot to expand, and the pressure is maintained. Left alone, the pain will adually subside over a few days as the clot retracts and shrinks, Later, if the base of the nail or the whole nail has been affected, the nail will be lost. A new nail . i} will grow, bul it may be years before it returns to a normal appearance. The patient's first concern is for pain relief. Since it is the pressure exerted by the blood that causes the pain, it is logical that an attempt to release the pressure should be made. a The best way of draining the blood is by making a hole in the nail. This must be done before the blood clots. Unfortunately, most methods of cutting or drilling a hole in the nail require the use of pressure, and this increases the pain. Frobably the best way to penetrate the nail is by using a red-hol wire — often apaperclip — lo burn a hole. Some emergency depart- ments have an instrument similiar to a soldering iron that will do the same thing more effectively.
