Everyone I know who goes there comes home with a boatload of bandages on!!

Indiscriminate is an opinion, that which we are all entitled. However, to validate the opinion one would have to know how many in that boat load of bandages were cancerous VS nothing found. Then a case can be made or not.
The incidence of skin cancer is accelerated with exposure and "damage" is cumulative. Thus many start to bloom in the senior years.
My wife and I both go Dr. Tran. We have been over the 11 years here. I have had 3 biopsies two of which were sqamous. My wife had one biopsy which also was sqaumous. Three for four. Indiscriminate? I think not....many, many visits with no biopsies warranted.
Just offering another perspective for consideration.
