As you might recall, Dear Gentle Reader(s), two years ago there was a little tussle with “the old man’s” disease, during which I learned of the suffix brachy. (It means, more or less, short.)
The GP who got the show on the road once blithely informed that the digital prostate exam was not on his plate because his “finger is too short” to reach the affected organ.
Many a dinner party has been enlivened by the sharing of that bit of information, as you can well imagine!
Upon hearing of a cramping in the general prostate (or what’s left of it) area, said doctor recently sent this as part of an email exchange: “If you are continuing to have pain than I would suggest
Antibiotics x 10 days and if not better a urology finger thingy.”
“finger thingy.”
Ya have ta love it!
More dinner party fodder.
Thanks, Doc.
:-)
