Medicalese

The results from the ultrasound scan were good although hard to believe. I am amazed at the interpretation of the specialist who reads the fuzzy pictures of my internal bits and can make such pronouncements. Liver: normal size, Gall Bladder: good, Spleen and Pancreas: normal , Kidneys: normal size,shape and texture.
Is that my liver or am I pregnant? Click to enlarge to make a diagnosis.

Of course the report didn't use those simple descriptions, they were couched in medicalese.....echotexture, intrahepatic/extrahepatic, parenchymal, lymphadenopathy etc etc.

Joan is due to have the chemo pump removed today then she has 12 days without chemo...just the side effects. It is in this typical 12 day period that we will be travelling to Brisbane for a PNG teachers' reunion in May.
