Hmmm...: If a non-doctor practitioner tells a patient her lipoma is an abscess forming, but the patient knows her lipoma is always that way and never forms an abscess, then the patient can get another evaluation but from a doctor, instead of from a non-doctor. Anything in a breast should be checked with some degree of certainty, so that one need not worry about breast cancer.
