Two stories about medicine that trouble me.

There is a difference between elective and emergency GB surgery.

Some docs will wait for the "itis" to go away and do it as an elective.

Or preventative! No one in my family is buried with a gall bladder. I was having pain in the area, but they couldn't find any stones. The doctor said, "well, given your family history, I should just take it out now and spare you the whole ordeal!"

I'm leaving now to go knock on some wood.

Same as elective.


Shave the wood down and make a salad?

Fiber helps!
