The OMJ Medical Adviser

MickMcCann

Inspired by the Ill thread here's the place for you to post your ailments and the medical practitioners on OMJ can give you an expert diagnosis and specialist treatment.For example Womble PM'd me about his genital warts so I mailed him a scalpel, a bit messy but at least he managed to get some pain killers from A&E and it takes his mind off his herpes.

OK hold tight I'll PM you the concentrated sulphuric acid, just apply liberally 7 times an hour.

Sounds like a ruptured lung to me you need to flush it out.Using the funnel that I sent you for the concrete rectal treatment that KW pictured on the Ill thread, attach a length of garden hose to the end. You need to force the tube down your throat ensuring that it goes to the lungs and not the stomach, disolve seven table spoons of sea-salt in 200ml of water and pour down the funnel directly into lungs. That should sort it.

I approve of this method of diagnosis.

My uncle Al used to write the weekly 'ask the doctor' column in the Sunday Post, armed only with book of common ailments and dr spock's baby and child book.
no medical training whatsoever.

To my knowledge in 20 years, noone ever sued him.

Get on the internet and Google any ailment.

Time you've finished reading about the symptons you'll have diagnosed that you are riddled with cancer and have only hours to live. However there will always be some natural herbal remedy that will be able to cure it.

They probably all died. I admire that, perhaps he was like a kind of long range Shipman

What fantastic notion - perhaps some investigative journalist type should go up and see if they can idenitfy some of his victims.though this may be a fruitless errand as I fear he made up quite a few of the letters himself.Well most of them.Maybe all of them.

Pretty obvious, don't do it again

My sciatica flaired up last weekend for the first time in 9 years. It was so bad myleft leg was paralysed and I couldn’t move for the pain. I ended lying on the floor for 3 hours until my wife finished her shift and came home.

My Plummer Terrier knew there was something really wrong with me and she did the whole His Master’ Voice thing by lying across my chest for the whole three hours I was stuck. When the wife came home and tried to move me the dog gave her a warning growl.

That is a well trained loyal dog.

Speaking of which the other day our 7 year old very well behaved springer spaniel attacked me. He latched onto my ear and nearly ripped it off. Result: a nice tear through the ear and the same behind it and a gaping wound on my thumb as i rescued my ear. Most disconcerting when, as blood poured down my neck and my daughter is screaming, the dog is chewing something.

A bit of TCP dabbed on the wounds and 10 days later they are healing well although the thumb is numb.

My A&E consultant colleague said it should have been stitched. Oh well just a flesh wound

heyho My Border Collie has gone for me once before when I was play fighting my grandson. She must have thought I was serious. It protects him like nobodies business. Which is strange because hes always dragging it around by its ears or riding it like a horse.

heyho I got hit under my eye once with a hammer, no blood but it cut clean down to the bone. My Ma, a nurse, reckoned I needed stitches. I never bothered. There’s not even a scar.

Jon I’m guessing that wasn’t while you were sat in the Dentists waiting room.
