So, I had pancreatitis

[kittenOFchaos]

Well, being superciticen, I guess that you also get super diseases

He is a one man hospital.

Trainee doctors don't need to spend months going around the wards learning to identify diseases and treat them. They just needs to walk around Pekka and afterwards take their exam

True. Since they always read my medical history before talking to me (head nurses as well, or the nurses that are sort of foremen or in charge of the room I am in), it's like "So you've had quite a year so far...". To which I say, "Yes."

What do you want to know, I think mother nature is trying to get rid of me, and I'm trying to stick around. It's either one of those things where a person gets bombarded with crap, and at some point it stops making sense and it goes from pity to being a laughing stock. OR, it's one of those things where a person just goes through a rough patch mostly for the sake of surviving to tell about it.

I prefer surviving

[Gibsie]

Keep well pekka!

Just remember there is always someone worse off than yourself.

Yeah some American version that gets through all these crap and then ends up with a massive bill!

More Vitamin D is always the answer.

Gallstones

I Wiki-ed gallstones and got this disturbing info:

Gallstones are a valuable by-product of meat processing, fetching up to US$32–per–gram in their use as a purported antipyretic and antidote in the folk remedies of some cultures, particularly in China. The finest gallstones tend to be sourced from old dairy cows, which are called Niu-Huang (牛黄，yellow thing of oxen) in Chinese. Those obtained from dogs, called Gou-Bao (狗宝，treasure of dogs) in Chinese, are also used today. Much as in the manner of diamond mines, slaughterhouses carefully scrutinize offal department workers for gallstone theft.

May I suggest you put yours on e-bay and see what happens?

Wow, I didn't even know this! How stupid I was, I even checked out this page before I went to the hospital, just to know what's this all about, but I never read the bottom of the page

Yeah, I guess this experience could have been more expensive, now, with like 4 nights altogether in a hospital plus medicine, food and everything, it amounts to little over 100 euros. This time though it wasn't so nice than last time, now I had like 4 dudes in the same room, who wouldn't shut up for a moment and couldn't sleep for the whole time (me), so it sucked. But for that price, again, a bargain.

[Pekka]

Also my pain has gone away. It took a few days. It really sucked for the first two days not being able to sleep, but now it's back to normal.

So, what's next? I hope it's not something nasty with my penis

[Serb]

I'm glad you fell better now.

I'm sure I had a "light version", 'cause it wasn't worse than a regular hangover.

Depends. Did you remember to check those cute nurses medical history ?
