(Medical) Much Ado about Not so Much

[roseembolism]

So, after a night of fasting and worry in spite of my rational mind, and a quick, efficient doctor's visit, I am left with three things:

• The knowledge that my medical issue is inded the minor, if painful problem I thought it was. No cause for alarm.
  
  
• A really bad case of gas.
  
  
• A set of pictures which, my lovely wife has informed me in no uncertain terms, nobody will want to see.
  

The last confuses me a bit. After all, nobody wanted to see the pictures I retained after my root canal, or the x-rays of my oddly-shaped sinuses. OOne would think people would have more curiosity about biology.

In any case, I bow to the will of the majority. No pictures scanned and posted, no new livejournal icons. Just the relief of knowing I have a clean bill of health.

And believe me, we are all happily cheering your clean bill of health!!

(Also, there might be some people who ARE curious about biology. It doesn't hurt to ask, as long as No means No. ;)

Re: pix: Perhaps that is best.

Glad to hear about the clean bill of health.

meorime might want to see the pics. She is in nursing school, after all.

I( mighht check with her. Of course this is one of those things that can easily be misinterpreted.

I'll gladly see the pictures of your exhaust pipe.

Let me photoshop a few things in there first. Like the Monolith, Waldo, a tardis...

There’s probably a Flickr group somewhere for posting your medical imaging.

I'll trade ya: your pics for a lovely video from veterinary practice. ;-)

More seriously, I'm one of those people who's really into biological schtuff, but I then have to realize that a lot of others aren't. I don't understand it, but there it is. Ah well.

Woo for the healthy!

Does it help that on my observational in the gastroenterology clinic the MD gave me several pictures in full color? Names and medical IDs were discretely Sharpied out!

I saw enough of them that day (woo, video!) that I could tell when we'd hit the transverse colon by the triangular cross section, and felt like going DING! when we'd hit the sphincter that marks the beginning of the small intestine. Saw some nifty polyps, too.

Again, way glad for the healthy!
