Rancid Gallbladder

[belinda]

Tell me stories that will make me feel better about having to have my rancid,stone filled Gallbladder removed

Hi Belinda,

My dad had his gall bladder removed back in the sixties and felt so much better for it. He hardly had a day's illness after that and lived happily and healthily until he finally shuffled off in his mid-eighties.

I believe the operation is much simpler these days too.

Good luck!

Love,

Caz

Is the gall bladder that's rancid or the stones?

Either way, it takes a lot of gall to have a bladder removed, and it takes some big stones to have such gall.


I guess what I'm saying is... good luck, in a rancid way.

Hi Belinda. I just got back from a camping trip and am so tired my brain isn't functioning enough to tell a coherent story, so I'm sending you some hugs and a rainbow instead.

But this is true and might make you smile- I saw the title 'Rancid Gallbladder' and thought it was the name of a Thrash Metal band.

Take care of yourself!

Archie,

You're thinking of 'Stinky Spleen' , 'Decaying Duodenum', or 'Infected Intestine' They came out of Seattle I think, just before grunge.

Hello, Belinda.
I've had a couple of stays in hospital recently and if your health service is half as good as ours you'll be well looked after. Take plenty to read though.

Best wishes,
Steve.

I thought exactly the same thing I was like "this sounds like some tasteless grindcore band or something".

Anyway Belinda, if the removal of your gallblader will solve the problem once and for all you shouldn't be scared. Hope you feel better soon.

What ever you do, don't go for the homeopathic treatment. I had one of those once, and not only did the 32C solution remember to act like it had hemlock in it, it also remembered when I wet myself in a pool. Turns out water holds a grudge.

Baddum tsh! *Watches tumbleweed*. Yeah I'm here all night folks, tip your waitress...

Hemlock??? are you sure a doctorgave you that? homeopathic treatments are ok for some minor tiny little things, but people have to stop thinking they can handle everything with homeopathy. what happened in the pool then?

[Steven Russell]

What you mean is, people need to stop thinking that homeopathy is anything other than a placebo.

Best wishes,
Steve.

Er, that was a joke Sister. Sorry for the confusion. Strictly speaking I suppose I could point out that anything homeopathic wouldn't actually have anything other than water in. A 32C solution (which was plucked from thin air telling the joke) would have been a 1:100 hemlock solution, diluted by another 1:100, then diluted again by 1:100, for a total of 32 dilutions at 1:100, meaning that the resulting solution would have one molecule of hemlock per a swimming pool the size of a planet. Hence the water having to "remember" the hemlock, and presumably anything else that may have been in it at some point, like me having a potty emergency when I was a toddler (the only truth in the joke, as my Mum insists on reminding me every bloody christmas when the sherry gets passed around).

You see, this is why I am never going to be a stand up comedien....

If they did that the joke wouldn't work (and neither would the placebo effect...)

Baddum tsh!

No. Still not working. Sorry folks.
