Honestly, I didn't think this thread could get any worse.
The introduction of home catheterization has proven me
wrong. I put that right up there with DIY trepanation.

Egads man! Colonic inertia?! For how long? I think you'd better get in and get that thing checked.

By the way All. You should be glad humans don't have anal glands that get impacted all the time. When I get shot in the eye while expressing one of these little lovlies I always tell the watching kids. "If you study really hard, go to college for eight years, and rack up $50K or so of student loans you can get a glamorous job like this."

Exactly! My wife oft laments that she went to school for 2 years
longer than I, but she gets bled upon and comes home smelling of
anal glands, while I get to sit at a clean, dry desk.

Aren't you forgetting The Mantra? It's just a little drill. It's just a little drill.

I imagine it's not often you're able to take her out to nice places.

Some pretty iky things happen commonly
but most people don't commonly talk about it happening.

To date, this is one of the most disgusting threads C&F has ever presented.

Best wishes to all,

P.S. djm, your wonderful "large animal surgery" pic almost made me blow chicken soup out of my nose!!!

The secret to having a gentle prostate exam is to have a musician for a doctor.

I had a surgeon give me one once before a colonoscopy and it was rather painful, but my regular doctor is an old time fiddler and has musician's fingers, so he is much gentler.

Not to leave out the ladies on the board, I have a question.

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

I don't think this is going to make sense, but it has to with the whole being more than the sum of its parts. Do you see what I mean?

may not make sense, but it reads well

That doesn't jive with my high school plane geometry teacher. I think that contradicts one of the axioms.

Although I have no direct experience with OB/GYN docs, being of the male variety, I would say for any doctor this has to do with

1. respect,

2. avoidance of the appearance of intimacy, and

3. professionalism

That said, when I go to dermatologists, I am quite used to undressing either partially or completely with them in the room.

Fight serious psoriasis for about 20 years and you'll not have a shy bone in your body left about much of anything.
