So I recently had a bout with kidney stones. Yes, they hurt for a woman too. How do they compare with labor? Well, these 3 badboys were small- so, whereas the pain was like labor- it was bearable. A few years ago I had the big daddy of all stones that basically sliced and diced me and I ended up with emergency surgery. Worse than labor! No cute cuddly baby to help me forget the pain!
However, my point isn't to discuss the stones, but rather this issue of Reader's Digest that was in the exam room as I waited for the Urologist. Out of curiosity, I picked it up to read if indeed my DOCTOR is OUT OF DATE. I flipped past the military jokes, the stupidest criminals and the ads, as well as the real life drama with the feel good ending and wait....I missed the article. I flipped backwards, then forwards... then I counted the pages. Yep, this article was ripped right out of the magazine.
Perhaps a patient ripped it out---but highly doubtful. My observation is if someone wants the article, they take the entire magazine. Especially from a magazine as small as Reader's Digest.
So my thought is this- DID THE DOCTOR'S REALLY THINK NO ONE WOULD NOTICE??????
Look at the magazine cover- of course we want to compare what they say to our exam!
Status: MORONIC
(at the very least they should toss the entire magazine to avoid suspicious patients like me!)
That is incredibly ridiculous! I found the article online if you're still interested in comparing.

(You responded to my comment on Kelsey's page - I was planning on taking my husband to the game night too, so by the time I drive from campus, to south knox, then out to game night, there won't really be time to play any games!)
That is hilarious.
