Stand well clear...


A very busy Sunday...with a 3 hour wait to be seen for most patients for most of the day.

The lady...just before lunch...was hugely obese...and was 63.She looked 20 years older and walked in using 2 sticks and a son-in-law.

She had cellulitis to her left calf.

The clinical history conversation went like this...

"Okay...so just to recap then...you are diabetic...hypertensive...have COPD and a thyroid problem...anything else?"

Well....ummh...theres my colostomy...

"Oh...okay...why do you have a colostomy then?"

I don't know...the surgeon said my guts just exploded and my insides were all covered in sh*t!

"Good news ma'am....I think you're going to have a disease named after you."
