Love them both. And in my far too recent dealings with hospitals I have decided that the collective term for surgeons is an arrogance despite one of them introducing himself as 'only a humble surgeon'. Hope it goes well for you and you escape their clutches quickly.
Another blogger was recently marsupialised.
My favourite is euthyroid.
Insult is the perfect word. Ill-health always leaves me feeling outraged in the same way as when someone has spoken rudely to me. Good luck with the reasons.
I too have a deranged liver, also due to gall bladder thingies. Deranged! Wildly-rolling eyes! If my liver had eyes.
hmm, WV is faillitt, which I feel accurately describes how did in my 'liver tests'.
Lovely blog,by the way, I have just started reading it and am enjoying it a lot.
Prefatory to anything else Mr. Bloom undertook, let me wish you a quick and easy procedure, and a very speedy uncomplicated recovery. Somehow I have no doubt you'll come through it with an utter minimum of inconvenience. Good luck!
But you didn't know about that usage of "insult"? I'm a tad surprised... but then again I reckon my lost years as a medical tech/historian/transcriber give me a boost on that'un. English is great for workmens jargon and terms of art. One of my favorites in medical argot is the set of actions/treatments/procedures which are "indicated," as against those which are "contra-indicated."
I suppose my whole beef with leftism boils down to the perception that it is all quite obviously contra-indicated.
But back to fun with language. It's funny that this post and the one on Dante follow so closely: one thing I can tell you from dear experience (a la "Proverbs for Paranoids" turf) is this: if you're going through a hypochondriac phase, then DON'T read a medical dictionary; and if you're having an existential dark night of the soul, well that's the exact wrong time to read the Inferno.
Heh.
