00:04.740 --> 00:08.480
this patient requested to remain

00:08.480 --> 00:10.940
anonymous . But one thing he did want

00:10.940 --> 00:12.884
his fellow service members to know

00:12.884 --> 00:14.996
about was the capabilities offered by

00:14.996 --> 00:16.996
the craig joint theater hospital at

00:16.996 --> 00:18.840
bagram . Some time ago , a lump

00:18.840 --> 00:21.100
appeared on the patient's forehead . So

00:21.110 --> 00:23.370
he decided to come in and consult with

00:23.370 --> 00:26.020
doctors about his situation . Our

00:26.020 --> 00:28.242
expectation is that when you come in or

00:28.242 --> 00:30.680
anybody else comes in with a concern

00:30.690 --> 00:32.690
that it is a genuine concern to you

00:32.690 --> 00:34.468
that we do everything we can to

00:34.468 --> 00:36.690
determine . Is this something we should

00:36.690 --> 00:38.746
take care about here or is it better

00:38.746 --> 00:40.968
manage when you get back home ? In this

00:40.968 --> 00:43.134
case the lump is a like homa or benign

00:43.134 --> 00:45.246
fat deposit . But because it wasn't a

00:45.246 --> 00:47.412
normal occurrence for the patient , he

00:47.412 --> 00:49.523
opted to get it removed . The doctors

00:49.523 --> 00:51.412
say it's important to be aware of

00:51.412 --> 00:53.579
different lumps and bumps on your body

00:53.579 --> 00:55.746
and to check them on a regular basis .

00:55.746 --> 00:57.968
If there's been any change in it in the

00:57.968 --> 01:00.079
course of a month or two , you should

01:00.079 --> 01:02.246
get it checked out . There's no reason

01:02.246 --> 01:02.220
to hold off on that . Unless of course

01:02.220 --> 01:03.942
the mission requires you to be

01:03.942 --> 01:05.998
somewhere in your absolutely mission

01:05.998 --> 01:07.998
essential . But borrowing something

01:07.998 --> 01:10.164
like that , you should definitely take

01:10.164 --> 01:12.331
a few minutes to come over and have us

01:12.331 --> 01:14.387
check it out where although some may

01:14.387 --> 01:16.498
view it as an unnecessary procedure ,

01:16.498 --> 01:18.664
the patient says he was happy with his

01:18.664 --> 01:20.664
decision because it is necessary to

01:20.664 --> 01:22.664
take care of your body , especially
