Guest guest Posted December 18, 2000 Report Share Posted December 18, 2000 Hi everyone, I love this one. I know that we send this around at least once a year, but it's valuable because it shows how utterly arcane " modern " medicine is, but more than that.... the reason why I find it funny, is that it illustrates with humor how women are degraded in the " practice of medicine. " Oh, yea, and mammagrams have been shown to be a significant factor in cancer, ie radiation exposure. We must find better ways to treat women more humanly, and also, safely. Mammagrams are not good enough. Be well, Mammogram Exercises As a physician, I thought I would pass this helpful hint to all my women friends. If this ends up in a guy's mailbox, please give to your wife/girlfriend/good friend. Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there is no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceding the exam and doing the following practice exercises, you will be totally prepared for the test, and best of all, you can do these simple practice exercises right in your home. EXERCISE 1: Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast between the door and the main box. Have one of your strongest friends slam the door shut as hard as possible and lean on the door for good measure. Hold that position for five seconds. Repeat again in case the first time wasn't effective enough. EXERCISE 2: Visit your garage at 3 AM when the temperature of the cement floor is just perfect. Take off all your clothes and lie comfortably on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of the car. Ask a friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled. Turn over and repeat for the other breast. EXERCISE 3: Freeze two metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts. Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set an appointment with the stranger to meet next year and do it again. You are now properly prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2000 Report Share Posted December 19, 2000 You forgot the: Have a friend holding 2 toilet plungers jam them onto the breasts so a good suction occurs, them pull like hell trying to get them loose. May have to go to the doctor like that. best, JR (last reply said MR...mistake). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
