😓
Back in 1985 at a young age of 19 and a college student, Dr. Skudlarick went over and beyond his duty as a doctor and saved my life! I went to Rutherford hospital to have a bleeding mole looked at. I was told by my attending doctor to "Oh just have the nurse at The university health center look at it when you get back to Western"
By the grace of God, Dr. Skudlarick just happened to be passing down the hallway as my doctor was leaving. Less than ten minutes later, this doctor walks in the room, exams me and immediately numbs me for surgical removal of this mole. It was skin cancer! His "urgency" has guided me to be aware of my body and skin cancer for my entire life! Thanks to him, I knew to take any mole change seriously. At the age of 42, I was dianosed with melanoma. My beloved grandmother was taken away from us by melanoma. At the age of 48 and being aware of whats going on with my body, I was diagnosed with a brain stem glioma. It was catch early.
In many ways, I credit him for giving me the urgency to be proactive in my healthcare even when he was not my attending doctor. RIP and thank you Dr. Skudlarick!
