Partial Video Transcript:
"So today's topic is going to be the structure and function of nevi or moles and melanoma.
So these are my conflicts of interest. We are going to be watching a video from Your Health University in the middle of this presentation. All of these videos are on CZcams, they're free, and they're designed to educate the public. I am a former pastor and you can probably see some of that in the talk today. I'm a veteran.

And then we have the Big Bad: the melanoma, the ounce per ounce the worst cancer you can probably get. And we're gonna then talk about diagnosis and management.
Now we are a family of DOs in here, osteopathic physicians, so because of that, this is going to be an interactive lecture. Because the rule of the artery is... Come on now, the rule of the artery is... One more time, because I was pathetic: the rule of the artery is... Thank you. So does that mean sitting down, hunched over, bad posture, shoulders forward?
