[This is] not much of an essay (I have a broken wrist), but one is not needed.  Dee taught me more about how to treat lichen sclerosis than any doctor, and I’ve been to quite a few.  She is knowledgeable, patient and as nice as can be.  I would write more wonderful things, but it takes forever with my left hand.
