I have even been asked to contribute to Prostate Cancer Research at my supermarket check-out.

My guess is they do not pop, but make it more difficult to read the X-Rays.<BR/><BR/>Odat,<BR/><BR/>My mother and her mother both had breast cancer, although neither died of it.

Since women typically have two breasts, it's fair to expect that she know which is which. <BR/><BR/>I love your idea of doctors practicing on each other. The one time I had a sigmoidoscopy (never again) the auto mechanic running the show asked if it hurt. I said, "Haven't you ever had one?" He said,"No." He looked embarrassed.

I assure you that I have suffered appendicitis and slipped disc and this probe is much worse. If you haven't figured out yet, it is inserted into the rear and moved around while the doctor looks at a tv screen. I started singing broadway hit musicals at high spped and pitch when it was inserted. Doc asks, "is it painful?" <BR/>I think they should be made to paractice on each other during training so that they would already know the answer.<BR/><BR/>Medicine being so highly specialised nowadays, you can't expect nurses to know left from right. Only nurses specialising in hands will study this.<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping all will be well.Lone Grey Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892067644551128013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-1167803954422831292007-01-02T21:59:00.000-08:002007-01-02T21:59:00.000-08:00Sister,I had the same thought, but my name was on ...Sister,<BR/><BR/>I had the same thought, but my name was on them.
