Dr. Schwab, Thanks for that. Is it a bad sign that I had to really think about it for a second before wondering what internet resource allowed you to produce that clipping ?
I could have told you that this would *NEVER* work given your subject pool. Without getting into autoimmune responses to unrelated donor tissue, let's remember this, above all else.
I'm a mostly retired general surgeon. With this blog, my intention is to inform, entertain, and possibly educate the reader about surgery, and about the life and loves of a surgeon: this one, anyway.
In an amazing coincidence, I've also written a book, "Cutting Remarks; Insights and Recollections of a Surgeon." It's about my surgical training in San Francisco in the 1970s, aimed at the lay reader with the goal of entertaining with good stories, informing with understandable details of surgical anatomy, procedures, and diseases. Knowing you, I bet you'd enjoy it. In fact, if you like Surgeonsblog, you'll absolutely love the book!
What I say here is as true as I can make it, based on my experience as a surgeon. Still, in no way is it intended as specific medical advice for any condition. For that, you need to consult your own doctors, who actually know you. I hope you'll find things of interest and amusement here; maybe useful information. But please, please, PLEASE understand: this blog ought not be used in any way to provide the reader with ideas about diagnosis or treatment of any symptoms or disease. Also, as you'd expect, when I describe patients, I've changed many personal details: age, sex, occupation -- enough to make them into no one you might actually know. Thanks, and enjoy the blog.

Funny. I would say more but after my MDOD posts, I decided I was going to work clean for the next week or two.
Clever and very funny! :)
I laughed out loud! There are several other possible recipients out there.......
Had to read it twice to be sure I had really read it the first time. Very tunny!
Ha!
Neither the PI nor the Times have called you about this yet?
Sid, I kept trying to tell you that I already am a hemorrhoid and had no need for another - hence the rejection.
What the hell.....
I suspect that such a transplant would be the first step to growing an entire new anus.
The possibilities are endless, and the possible recipients nearly so.

Why don't politicians get hemorrhoids?
Because they're all perfect assholes!
Eric: yeah, but they were the only ones who'd agree. I just told them I was a lobbyist, and they bent right over.
Dr. Schwab - that was great! Thanks! :o)
