My brother had to do a poo test a while ago........

Doc gave him a little jar........

He said brother would get 'phone call on the morning of the day the courier would collect it.

Doc said to use the jar....... and put it in the fridge, wait for the courier.

Brother told him... NO WAY AM I PUTTING POO IN MY FRIDGE!!!!!

......... words of that meaning......... :-0 :-0 :-0

Eventually, it was arranged for brother to go to a laboratory......... he wouldn't give me the details, but he kept laughing.

:-D :-D :-D

Yes Scozz, we've both had the 'official' test, but OH's doctor said that he didn't quite trust them, as sometimes the results were not sent to GP's. He preferred to use the local lab.

I suppose that he just like to go through the motions :-D :-D

Didn't you get the bowel cancer kit in the mail?

I thought they were being sent to every adult in Oz.

Kinda weird, poking at the jobby with a stick, putting the stick in a container and posting it .......... somebody has a real sh!tty job! :-0

:-D

Hi Scozz

No, not to my knowledge.

OH's GP, who is in the same Practice as mine, did do a bowel cancer screening recently for her.

I do have some larger areas of damage other than in 'story', but another doctor checked one of those without any comment

Allan ~ Doesn't your local GP do regular skin checks?

We get a letter every two years reminding us to have a check at the skin cancer clinic.

They send a letter to all patients over 50 (I think that's the age), but I think they should start at an earlier age. We're in the sub-tropics, most people spend a lot of time outdoors.....at the beach.......and if the swimmers & surfers wear sunblock it soon washes off.

The last time OH had a check, he saw a new doctor, very young. She asked if he had southern European ancestors....... until he took off his shirt & socks & she saw his golfers tan :-D


btw....... the pic on the left is our local beach. On a busy day we might see 6 people and a dog. :-D

Gee whizz, women have it easy compared to us males.

I have been diagnosed with an industrial-like deafness due to OH's constant nagging :-D :-D

You tell him Ann :-| :-| :-| :-P :-D :-D :-D

in your dreams!!!! it's easy - well pleasurable getting the baby in there in the first place, but getting it out is a different kettle of fish - imagine a kidney stone the size of a tombstone!!!

I did have kidney stones once. :-(

They say that is the closest that a male can get to the mild pains of childbirth :-D :-D

you want pain? try childbirth :-D

LadyScozz

I only mentioned this to my doctor as I had to see her anyway. I didn't think that her name was Jekyll

A week on, the thing has not gone let alone come back.

I'd be suing for the recovery of costs if I wasn't being bulk-billed :-D :-D

You could call your new "friend" ...... Mouldywart :-)

Allan ~ isn't there a skin clinic near you?

Our local medical centre has separate rooms for podiatrists, psychologists, hypnotherapists etc, and a skin clinic... most of the GPs are at the clinic one day a week.

I had a couple of "iffy things" taken off (they were no-problem moles), but not with evil stuff like was used on you!!! That sounds horrendous. I was given a local anasthetic...... snip snip, stitch stitch; stitches taken out a few days later, no problems.

Your doc sounds like a psycho!

:-0

ooooooooooh-Wartever's the matter? Wart's Wrong? :-S :-S :-D :-D :-D

Wart's changed?

Nothing! Not even the evil grin :-(

I did try Vaseline once but couldn't slip past the RR'r

you could always try Vaseline ;-)

Prickles has cream for that Allan :-D :-D ;-)

pmsl........... :-D :-D :-D

I have a haemorrhoid which I call a pain in the ar*e :-D

I fact, I've got piles of them :-D :-D
