Merkel Cell Carcinoma Development Time Lapse - More Deadly Than Melanoma!

Using generative AI, this time lapse sequence shows how merkel cell carcinoma skin cancer develops over 6 weeks. Starting with normal skin, slow progression to stage 4 skin cancer is shown. Merkel cell carcinoma is a very fast-growing and deadly skin cancer... more deadly than melanoma. Fortunately, it is quite rare.

Famous singer Jimmy Buffet died of merkel cell carcinoma within 4 years of diagnosis.

Obviously, such a time lapse can not be realistically accomplished as there is no way to know if any given area of skin will turn into cancer. Obviously, somebody with such future knowledge would have to start taking such photos now in the same spot over time to watch it slowly turn into cancer.

She could have become very agitated or aggressive from the effects of ingesting such a large amount of lorazepam. Mom felt she had to tie her up temporarily with the twine until she figured out what to do with her?
