One of the two things I remember from my stoma training day
is that the vast majority of 'temporary' colostimies become permanent by default, for one reason or another. Here's hoping TH is one of the lucky few.

The other thing I remember is my flatmate nicking a colostomy bag so he could take it to Hogmanay celebrations on Princes Street and jump the toilet queue by waving it above his head and yelling that he needed to change it quick.

/anecdotes, forte etc.

I once sneaked a bottle of galliano into a medics ball by pouring it into a catheter bag and strapping it to my leg.

Clearly you haven't spent much time with medical students.

What has any of this to do with eating M&Ms with a spoon?
