Had to fill out a form earlier for this year’s flu jab describing my current health and it would’ve been faster to send this meme.

Oh that is so accurate! One of my doctors thinks I may be immortal as I have so many things wrong with me but am not dead so maybe I cannot actually die...

We might be related you know. The damage I have in my spine usually means you can’t move and although I have some problems I can certainly move. My spinal consultant spent a long time confirming my ID at our first appointment cos he was just like ‘how though!?’

It is nice to meet another anomaly. We should form a club! I once had a rare condition usually seen only in old women. The doctor could not pronounce it, nor explain how someone biologically male (despite identity) in their 40s could develop it. Xanthogranulatamous choleocystitis.

Oh you know you’ve done something proper when the diagnosis is purely in Greek and/or Latin. Just looked it up, sounds extremely painful but yeah you’re definitely an outlier! Clinicians must never shut their minds to outliers though, really pleased your doc listened to you.

They thought it was gall bladder cancer and did not realise what it was until they did a biopsy after surgery. The treatment was the same either way. I was lucky to be treated in Nottingham. Their cancer unit is world class!

Yes I’ve heard they work miracles there. Thank goodness you’re better and were in the right hands.

The hospital in my city refused to see me, so my GP got me seen in Nottingham ar a private clinic the NHS paid for, to get a diagnosis of what was very obviously cancer. Then Nottingham hospitals took over. I eventually got a first appointment locally... weeks after the surgery that saved my life.

If I had waited for the local hospital, I would 100% have died before the first appointment. Nottingham moved very fast. Diagnosis October 3rd. Surgery December 21st.
