Knowing I've got an important Urology hospital appointment next month, I've been trying to piece together relevant bits of my medical history.
The NHS app has been vital, but there's lots of gaps in the records before about 2015, and even more gaps in my memory!
I think I've got most of it down on paper, but it's been an evening's work.

I need #US #healthcare advice.
I went to the ER with a kidney stone. They gave me ibuprofen and Flomax and sent me home to pee it out, they estimated a 60% chance of success, 40% chance I'll need surgery. They said get a #urology appointment ASAP.
Soonest appointment I've found is in 3 weeks. Painkillers run out before then, and it's not good to take ibuprofen 24/7 for that long anyway.
What do I do if I can't get an appointment sooner? Any tips for getting appointments faster?

CW: Medical details
#BladderCancer checkup tomorrow first thing. Look up 'flexible #cystoscopy' if you enjoy details. May you never need this. Although.... seeing inside your bladder and urinary tract is highly educational, if your #urology dept. lets you watch the #camera feed too. It''s not fun for me, usually a bit of an existential challenge, but I recommend the experience if only once in a lifetime. It's very humbling and makes you want to take more #care of yourself.

Pretty awkward that the #AAP has a policy on Female Genital Mutilation! I guess we should be skeptical of the AAP.

The more urologists fight to defend forced circumcision, the more they repeat harmful tropes and devalue consent and autonomy.
He calls himself sex positive, but you can't be sex positive while also policing the feelings of boys and men about their own bodies. It's just toxic masculinity.
