Embarassing Illnesses, C4, Friday.

[zeitghost]

I thought last week's epic with the magic machine for tying off your piles was gross.

That was until I viewed last evening's offering of anal fistula.

Isn't the premise of this programme showing various afflictions to thousands of viewers of people who are too embarassed to go to their doctor?

So embarassing to go to local gp, but not to go on national tv

A pile tying machine??
The thought of it would make them retreat, shirley?

<crap joke alert>

Bloke up in court.
lawyer -'So you admit to pulling the comunication cord'
defendent ' I do'
lawyer - 'you were in the toilet, and you pulled the cord'
defendent - 'I did'
lawyer - 'causing the train to brake sharply , injuring ten passengers'
defendent - 'correct'
lawyer - 'and your defence is that you suffer from piles'
defendent - 'thats true but let me explain...'
lawyer - 'there is no need to explain. I have piles, I travel on the train, I use the toilet facilities on the train. But I have never felt the need to call assistance by pulling the communication cord because of my piles'

defendent - 'Maybe, but I bet yours have never been wrapped around the fckng axle'


<you can come out now>

The girly has loads of chat about piles. THis weeks one was a bloke who had an army doctor whip them off in the 40s and since he has had to squeeze them out with the effort of Geoff Capes lifting a horse cart filled with bricks.

And she wonders why I do not ask her how her day has been over the dinner table?

The program is a fix.

The people aren't too embarrassed to go to their GP.

They are the sort of people who are happy to have loads of medical students have a good look at them because it helps them learn and treat others better.

The state of that bloke's arse was gross. I suppose some people like watching that sort of stuff.

Best it's not as gross as hello.jpg......

Looks like a good way to get referred to a specialist quickly, and for free.

Trade off is that you have to admit to the nation that it hurts when you pee.
