Gross Anatomy....procede with caution!

Hi Karen, we don't get anything like that but it certainly sounds preferable to checking things out on the internet and diagnosing oneself with a strange and deadly disease. I liked Hatley's response as it shows the dangers of innocent little berries and sweetcorn.

hi karen madam, can i get Dr. Oz show in our Indian tv,i think it will not come,i do not know the reason,what tips he is giving and there is any consultation fee for him,let me know every thing to me,have a nice day

I do to the point that I wonder if I and indeed my doctor think I am a hypochondriac! I do worry at times that I could be deemed as a hypochondriac, I am very observant in all of my bodily functions and although I do suffer with anxiety and finding parts of your body doing abnormal things or finding things which don't look, sound or feel right doesn't help the anxiety issues I have. Fortunately I do have a good doctor and I know it may sound strange but I am more likely to discuss personal and indeed embarrasing matters with a FEMALE doctor than I am with a male doctor, does that make sense? I guess you have to feel comfortable with your doctor to be able to discuss such matters. I had a problem with my waterworks and believe me everything has been checked, sadly there was no easy outcome in that it was more mental than physical but that meant having my extremities and embarrassments put aside as I put through a few embarrassing operations and procedures, but after a while you tend to lose your inhibitions and I have no problem if any doctor or consultant needs to see any part of me. After all don't they see naked bodies day in and day out? We are no different and I always think why suffer, the worry and anxiousness you have if something doesn't look or feel right can actually excerbate the situation and make you feel even worse than the original condition if caught early enough. The classic case is testicular cancer, most men are embarrassed to show their doctor their privates if they are worried about a lump, but surely isn't better to overcome the initial embarrassment if it's going to catch cancer in time? Rather than live with it to find out it's too late?

Good morning KAREN,I was worried about u, haven't seen u on here for a couple or so days.I'll admit i don't pay enough attention to things especially what goes in the toliet, lol. Anything that smells that bad i don't want to look at.. I know i should pay closer attention to certain things. Hope things are o.k. w/u.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, Your topic of discussion is very much needed to all lady members here in particular. As ladies always reveal the truth at the end and final stage. They try and avoid. Recently, my hubby had to drag elder sister of my younger DIL, and later on Cancer was detected, Two yrs have almost past, while she has been treated. People must bring out such issues in the family over dining table without any hesitation. I also suggest elders in teh family should take to reveal their un-fitness infront of everyone, as such shyness will go off from teh children. May God bless You and have a great time.

Hi there, good to be back in one of your discussions. I don't watch television, but Dr. Oz is a personal favourite through the health discovery website I follow. I also think his book - You, The Owners Manual - is a must have for all home libraries. It is very reasonably priced, which is a wonder in todays market. I think it was around $15.00, tax inclusive. He is one who can explain the most complex issues in the such a down earth fashion. He is also not an alarmist, which I personally find refreshing in this day and age. When your body is doing or expelling something gross/ugly/embarrassing, it is telling you to seek professional assistance, NOW. There is very little you can say to your Doctor that he hasn't heard/seen/experienced a hundred times before. I tip my hat to this man, for bringing this out in the open in such a user friendly fashion.
