A Very Brief and Funny Medical Story
Today I had to do a barium enema on an old fellow that had a
colostomy. The surgeon wanted to know if the site where he had
sewed the bowel together below the place where he had made the colon
exit the skin (the ostomy) had healed before he took down the ostomy
and re-hooked the guy up in a normal fasion.
Before I started the procedure I had forgotten which side the surgeon
told me the old fellow's ostomy was on so asked him "is your bag on the
left?"
He reached down and felt his scrotum and testicles and nodded and said "Yes".
I smiled and patted his shoulder.
Even as I write this I'm thinking that this sounds like an urban
legend, but it's not. It happened today and it's still making me smile.

Sad situation, funny as hell. I love people with a sense of humor.
nice. and congrats on the master's. i have a year left for my BS (and yes, i'm believing more and more that it is, in fact, BS) and after that I don't even want to think about school ever again. and thanks for the help with the texas 4000. that actually helped me reach my goal. i'll write more when finals are over.
I went to Columbus yesterday to visit a friend and thought, "Hmm, Bob lives in Columbus." Haha, my life is being eaten by Xanga...
