Iain's quote comes from the Bible, Thessalonians. A handbook created by one of the richest corporations that has ever existed for the control of the...

Girl.

I had a scope up and down in the same procedure. 2 days of clenser which was as aggressive as the stories would have you believe. Despite being...

In keeping with most folk who have two or more jobs, it is perfectly reasonable to have two or more places to live, with these additional houses or...

Its a neat concept almost convincing but lacks two factors that grind the gears, The How and Why. But for fear of offending those among us we are...

What all of them? it takes the whole family to look after granny in ethic groups? Hardly Social care allowance pays £67.60 a week for 35 hours and...

Sounds like a coverall bollocks to save thinking

Hardly 7 billion folk on the planet, with 13 trillion shared worldwide would nett around $1800 each. Wouldn't even cover the bar bill booze and fags...

They want me to take 2 Senna tablets per day for 7 days before the Moviprep x2. I can understand that for constipated people but as I am being...

You're starting the bowel prep 6 days before the colonoscopy? That seems a little previous? It's still horrible, just differently so.

Did the same for a PCR except I was sitting in a bloody car park. Does not bode well for next Monday when I am due to have a Gastroscopy while...

All things change. While the TOE (transoesophageal echo cardiogram) will give a better visualisation of the interatrial septum (where the hole may...

There are a few light sedation agents that can render people amnesic of the procedure IMHO quite a good thing having witnessed helped in a variety...

The alternative was a Trump 2nd term? I'd have voted for Bugs Bunny with Wile E Coyote as running mate.

Bump

I had one of those in 2006 before the PFO closure in 2007. "Gag reflex" isn't in it - they couldn't do it with me conscious... So gave me what they...

Imagine electing Biden! With Kamala as his 2IC on the same ticket Rgds

I suspect that may partially down to the family ethic of these ethnic groups where elderly people are looked after within the family rather than put...

I don't really get your point. Does that mean it's OK if certain groups live in poverty? Certain groups are naturally predisposed to live in poverty?...

Generally speaking, poverty is the cause of social renting, not the effect. What percentage of homeless people are in relative poverty?

Some groups are more likely than others to be in poverty. Poverty rates are highest for people in households where the head of the household is from...

Gag reflex, I took an LFT, and threw up in the mirror.

My knowledge of this is dated - but transthoracic is easier to conduct but has less resolution. Transoesophegal has better resolution but is more...

And how did it "see" through the stone. :)

Mine was done trans-thoracic - basically poking the ultrasound wand between 2 ribs to get a view of the heart. My diagnosis included the words...

Stop harshing my buzz man! I dunno, but they were able to see the right bit yesterday during the ordinary one, but only in one 2D plain.

That is interesting. How do they get a view of the correct part of the heart?
