Surely just mounting the examination table would have been painful enough, even if you had started out in perfect health!

Well, there's mounting and then there's 'mounting'...........
The mind boggles

H'm - I was expecting a comment there from JR - give him time!

I almost commented myself but thought better of it!

Thank God I passed mine naturally, after being kept on hospital bed-rest for 3 days (with a catheter - yuk!) and being forced to drink copious amounts of water to flush them through!

My father had kidney stones and was fed a diet? of Mackeson's in Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup, until he passed them.

I claim that is why I drink Guiness or "dark" beers, as preventive medicine.

On the subject of the 'back-passage' examination, one of my cousins when a staff-sergeant in the army had to undergo a full examination whilst serving abroad. When it came to the 'drop-em and bend over' routine, the medical major approached saying.........

"Now then Sergeant - There's absolutely no need to worry, unless of course, you feel both my hands on your shoulders !!"

Very comforting !

I remember a lovely old patient, who chortled over another patients luxuriant sideboards

"B*ggers' Grips!"

That was my local hospital when I was younger! But when I had my stones I was in Maidstone Hospital and I only got water! I feel like I've been cheated!!

The NHS is not what it was - but then it probably never was!
