fabulous, thank you. I love looking at this sort of thing. Gastro did show me two pics from my colonoscope but may as well of shown me a scope of outer space for all I knew what they were. Wish they had given me copies so I could take my time to study them properly in my own time. How did you get yours? Was it Simple as asking or because of your interest in the job? http://www.philipjohnson.org.uk

Hmmm, around 1845 they would have boiled them up with some potato and onion. Better out than in jen. No wonder you felt so ill.

i just requested my patient records when i moved from the paediatric to the adult gastro i wanted to actually go down to the path lab a week after my op to see it, but they wouldnt let me in! though the gastro said he would let me see it, so to make up for it he was going to show me the pics, this was like 2 years ago. and i didnt end up seeing them. so when i requested the records, i knew the had photos ( which they didnt send at first) so mum said she wasnt paying for them until she got the photos , so we got them on a CD lol!

I have suggested they video ops in future so macabre nosey parkers like me can have a look see at leisure. Unfortuneately, I don't think they took me serioussly.
