Have fun with your scan mate.

My last one was ... interesting. It was an ultrasound ... of the umm scrotum. Ya see, I'd developed a cyst on the tubes. Looks like I've got three of them bally things down there. No, I'm not bragging, just getting to the point of this story which was that the scan, being ultrasound, required the gadget to be pressed against the area, and moved around, and that umm various bits of equiptment had to be held out of the way by the medico, and that medico just happened to be in her early twenties and an utter stunner

I maintained my dignity, but the memory lingers

Thanks for all the wishes folks, deadline is 3 hours time. The problem is that I appear to have a severe balance problem, yes yes I know I've been unstable for years, the situation has not responded to the usual treatments for an inner ear infection. Further investigation has shown that pressure is being applied to the relevant mechanism from an internal source, and they are going looking for the source of pressure, to be quite honest shirts is trumps at the moment.

We'll have to stop telling you what a great bloke you are, your head is swelling

All the best mate. Let us know how you get on.

All the best, Termite.....

Never use the term 'deadline' when talking medical stuff :eek:

I always recommend a bottle of good scotch for all illness - it may not cure the problem but at least you enjoy being sick

I hope you didn't poke fun at her :eek:

Damn... a friend up here has that, he has a small tumor behind his ear, it isn't growing at present but if they operate he will end up deaf in that ear & it's his good ear. :eek:

[AlexS]

Hope all is well Bill, you have a lot of mates here thinking of you.

[Termite]

Results will be available 10AM tomorrow. They will have a sticker on them saying "To be opened by treating doctor only". Yeh, sure.

[Zed]

mate the reason they say that is so if it reads "non malignant wattery mass etc" you wont get disturbed (ie you might misinterpret anything says and get upset for nought)... read it then google the terms you dont know... then go to the doc.... tell him "Dont bullshirt me mate, give it to me straighrt, IM A MAN I TELLS YA!!!)

you'll be fine... how will you collect your felder saws otherwise ... oops almost let that one out didnt I ?

[journeyman Mick]

Bill,
chances are that the results won't even be in with the scans, often they're emailed or faxed to the doctor or they are on a disc that comes with the scans. If on disc then they're not readable by anything but the proprietry program that created them.

The sealed packet will just have a note that says - we told you not to open this
