Mr Inwang, stand up comedian... sorry, consultant!

Went to Springfield Hospital today for my gallbladder consultation with Mr Inwang.
All went well and with a trailing wind I should be light one gallbladder in 8-12 weeks!

Mr Inwang was did Sophie's gallbladder removal so I am familiar with his handy work. He had a very strange way of delivering information that was strangely relaxing and some of the things he said were almost comical although he was very deadpan, he really should consider a side line as a stand up comedian.

Here's some of his best quotes:

“The small ones are always a problem. The bigger ones are better, you never have any problems with those.”

“I’d happily whip out your kidney, you’ve got another one if anything went wrong.”

“The top of the abdomen is bandit country. Up there, there’s only one of everything. If we damage something we could be making a chap miserable for the rest of his life.”

“The clips we put on are very flimsy, they sometimes fall off so I always use two. You don’t want bile leaking on your insides!”

So there we have it, a clear and simple way forward and just another short wait until all the pain is gone
