I thought it was a good question. That is the kind of question you can have to sift thru a boat load of p00p to get the right site. Thanks for posting the answer Amber

I try. I also plan on going through U of M for facial feminization and breast augmentation.

I suppose most Boomers aren't necessarily inclined to look this stuff up in order to understand.
 
Re: The Medical Thread: We're experts on everything else; why not?

Ive had 3 colonoscopies in the last 9 months. To top it off I have to fast for 2.5 days or I won't be cleaned out. Thankfully no cancer yet. I have another scheduled this fall and then 1 every year until......

Nothing to do with being a Boomer. With stuff like this there are a gagillion hits. I know that depending on where you live, what medical facility you frequent, different procedures and schools of thought are in place. Not just for this but for plenty of things. Go to a conference and you can hear 3 dif speakers have 3 opinions that are all totally convincing about how you should go about something. Obviously there are some things that are the same but there is a lot of variance depending on region.

Example- sis-in-law's dad had a medical issue. Up there they went to 3 diff places, all of whom insisted the treatment protocol should be x which was very interventionist. Down where I am this was absolutely verbotten- if I had followed that protocol I would have been called on the carpet by all the Specialists who would have refused to proceed with the protocol they use up there.

. Ulcerative colitis has ravaged my colon. The best thing I ever did was stop listening to GIs who all say diet doesn't matter. It certainly matters in my case.

What idiot GI said that? :rolleyes: that is probably one of the stupider things they could say. (Also tells you they aren't up on the latest research on diet and inflammatory foods)

Colon blow tomorrow eve and night in preparation for the moon probe on Monday.

Been a while since the last one which was clean and I don't expect problems.

I'll reread the previous description to be alert for abnormal symptoms. :)

Conversation following my last colonoscopy:

Endoscopist: "All it showed was what we already knew. You're a perfect A-S-S-hole"
Me: "At least I'm not full of $h1+"

Good luck with yours
 
Re: The Medical Thread: We're experts on everything else; why not?

I survived. Very small pylop was removed. Everything else was ok.

The doc prescribed CleanPiq to clean me out. Based on my last cleanse with something different, I was expecting the Saturn V of explosions. Not the case. This was more like ion power. Think I prefer the Saturn V approach, though this stuff tasted better.

Cafe doctors: please tell me what is happening here.

The two players react identically -- first they go to a knee, then they hold their head. What has happened to them? Is there a physical shock wave from the strike? Have they been electrocuted through the ground? It comes right on the flash so I don't think it can be percussion. Does the sudden flash of light overwhelm sensory inputs and cause a brain injury?

Oof, somebody didn’t follow lightning protocol.

No idea in this case.

But I can tell you lightning is INCREDIBLY loud. Like, the loudest thing I have ever heard. Back when I was 16 I was working at DQ. There was a thunderstorm and for whatever reason, I stuck my head out the drive through window to get a better look at it. Right as I did that lightning struck in our parking lot like 75-100 feet away, maybe less. I was thrown back from the window, probably because my legs reflexively kicked back. I grabbed my ears and was completely disoriented. It took me a few seconds to realize what happened and make sure I was still alive.

Turns out, someone else was struck by that bolt. Didn’t realize it at the time but saw the pictures on the local newscast that night. It looked like he was beaten up by a gang with bats. Two black eyes. Burns. Severe bruising all over. Laid up in the hospital.

So it’s possible that they were disoriented.
