I was thinking yesterday about that Embarrassing Illnesses programme
I mean, what is it about some people's thought processes? One bloke had a sore cock, but rather than going to his own doctor, whom presumably he trusts and where an examination would be done in private, he goes into the back of some truck where another doctor handles his knob, and it's all shown on national television.

WTF?

AND YOU WATCHED IT.
And you liked it.

Yes
I watched it. Once.

I didn't like it much though. Not enough clam. If I want to see someone handling a cock, I can play with my own.

Saw one on TV last year...
...some poor unfortunate girl underwent a "flangectomy", after complaining of over-large flappage.

You'd think she'd insist on having her face blacked out?

Depends
on whether her face was worse than her fanny.

Because it's done by a private doctor, not on the NHS, so no waiting time and no cost

But
I'd rather wait a couple of days for an appointment with my NHS doctor (which is of course free), than get my knob out on telly.

Most of these people have done that, but need the referral to a hospital which can take up to 6 months or more
Go on tv and get it done the next day.

Oh, I see
Still don't think I'd fancy it much though.

I can't really say I would trust any medical proffesional who will only treat you if you're willing to go on telly.
I'm pretty sure that's against whatever oaths they have to take.

They'll treat you because someone is willing to pay
not because you're on tv.

You sound very much in favour of this, Becky
Have you flashed your minge on the telly then? Doubt it.

If it gets them treated and less likely to pass someone nasty on to others then I'm all in favour
I personally wouldn't.

Those telly people will do anything to get the shots they need.
