For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done? (sh.itjust.works)

Biologically male procedures only. EDIT: If the two people who downvoted this question could explain their reasoning, I would be super interested. No judgements. This is a safe space!

My wife is there.

She's gotten two knee replacements this year and is scheduled for a hip replacement before the end of the year. And last night I reminded her she's been meaning to go to a dermatologist.

Here I am with acceptably functional knees and hips. I just can’t win!

Yes but how’s your skin

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well. It covers my body.

You should get a full dermatologist check. Especially if you have ever been sunburned.

Get any suspicious or annoying moles removed and biopsied.

I have 4 friends (granted 50+ years old) who have had skin cancers removed in the last year. Many, many stitches on faces, arms, and necks

Ooh! Dermatologist! That's a good one!
