19 y.o. schizophrenic pt presents in your dermatology office with non-healing lesion, 4 mm in diameter on his left posterior hand. You look at the lesion and suspect skin cancer (BCC or SCC you can't tell). You are thinking that you could do punch biopsy and hopefully remove the whole thing, but patient refuses and requests conservative treatment, and you fail to convince him to consent. At this point which of the following would be most appropriate:
a. ignore his wishes and do the biopsy
b. call his parents and get their permission
c. schedule follow up appointment.
d. tell his you can't treat him if he doesn't follow your recommendations
e. get court order and treat him
f. refer pt to the radiation therapy
