The Back of the Book Segment

Shame on you!

That’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw this ad. I didn’t even know they made Tampax back when the world was black and white.

Frankly, I wouldn’t discuss any aspect of reproductive health with this angel of mercy. She gives me the willies.

Besides “Tampax” sounds like the latest SSRI antidepressant.

(Insert own Prince of Wales joke here. No pun intended.)

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It wasn’t reproductive health that I had to deal with these last few days. Apparently the post-Thanksgiving epidemic is not the avian flu, but all-too-human constipation.

Yes, the rectums of the world are clamoring for attention.

Again.

I had a 94-year-old in one bed and an 8-month-old in the next bed. Both were having evacuation problems that made Hurricane Katrina look like a precision drum corps. Both had eaten yams at their last meal.

Take A Bite Outta Grand Rounds!

Grab a cookie and go check out Grand Rounds 2.10! This week, Graham is hosting at Over!My!Med!Body!
There is some major linkage action going on over there and I intend to savor every bit of it!

Graham is a medical student here in the San Francisco Bay Area - and I just now found his blog this week because of Grand Rounds. A virtual neighbor in more ways than one.

I just hope all the cookies aren’t gone by the time you get there. That little teal surgeon cookie on the left has my name on it……
