Mother Nature just dislikes you personally Chris. You'll have to sort it out with her. She thinks you're a misogynist you see and thus chose to attack you in the goolies. I can't understand why though. Perhaps revenge for having cunning theories about stairs. Did you know that stairs were invented by The Royal College Of Orthopaedic Surgeons ? As were roller skates, snow and water skis, motorbikes, rugby, tweeting etc. The College has standardised patent application forms that begin with "Description : A device to create fractures in the ________ bone of humans". Idiopathic means a disease caused by some idiot.

Had. Those hours of immense fun were yesterday.

We use colonoscopies in order to reduce the number of people who complain of bowel symptoms. :-)

Good morning Dr Mike :-)An

Good morning Dr Mike :-)

An idiopathy is any disease with unknown cause or mechanism of apparently spontaneous origin.From the Greek  ἴδιος idios "one's own" and πάθος pathos "suffering", idiopathy means approximately "a disease of its own kind".

Mother Nature just dislikes you personally Chris. You'll have to sort it out with her.

I think you may be right there, I'll have to have a word in her shell like!!

Is there a Royal College of Doctor's Receptionists though?  There must be somewhere because they all seem highly trained to the same standard. Look like the back end of a bus, and giving you an appointment sooner than a month, is to them worse than cutting their own arm off. Repeat prescription? That means they have to actually get off their backside and find bits of paper. That is of course when they aren't on the phone chatting to a mate whilst you're 4th in the queue. Ours graduated with Honours.

Maybe you are right again Mike, the NHS just doesn't like me either! But to be fair, the last op I had for Dupytrens  was at our local swish and very expensive private hospital. My orthopaedic surgeon was a consultant there as well as the NHS hospital, and there is an arrangement where if there is a vacancy on the private op list an NHS patient can be offered it and the NHS pays. My own personal nurse, private room, free slippers, flight socks, paper underwear, and dinner later as well. Took the edge right off the necessary proceedings, which included a skin graft. Just lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.

Right back to business. Oi! Mrs Nature, I want a word with you please about my goolies ....... Yes of course I like women, what made you ask? Oh that Aussie chap, well he's busy diagnosing vehicle cooling systems at the moment, useful sideline than listening to Skippy saying that yet again dads fallen down another mineshaft and they want the Flying Doctor. I'll catch him later.

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

Seeing that Kath is

Seeing that Kath is encouraging me then :

"Royal College of Doctor's Receptionists" - aha ! We recruit from The Bureau Of Dragons ( a division of Lloyd's ). Most are retrieved from the Indian Ocean where they are found causing havoc along the shipping routes. 

"flight socks, paper underwear" - the height of luxury. When I was at mill down dale in winter '31 .....

"Yes of course I like women, what made you ask?" - No reason.

Alas Skippy has been de-registered. He jumped to too many diagnoses.

Cheers, Mike.

We used to get up half an hour before we went to bed, eat a handful of cold gravel for breakfast, and work 25 hours a day and pay the mill owner for the privilege. But you try and tell the young people that today and they won't believe you.

Cheers, Mike. 

And you use PEG-electrolyte to reduce the number of people asking for colonoscopies.

Four small polyps and a few biopsy samples. No results yet.
