@Catogrande "aw ffs doc I know we're in the middle of a pandemic but ORGANISE yourself!"

Save yourself the indignity. It's an utterly pointless test.

@antipodean yeah the finger test has been overtaken by PSA so I did that the other day. Results to the urologist and away we go in a couple of weeks.
Yay.

Worse still when he raises one finger in the air and walks down the corridor, finger extended asking if anyone knows where the gel is.
You could have lent him some of your own.

The worst thing (in Aus) must be getting that that test kit for bowel cancer when you're 50. Must be hard enough hitting the half ton without having to send some of your poo in the mail.
-
@Victor-Meldrew that's the one. Did a urine test as well just for fun.

Harder still is actually getting it in the jar!

Had an oncologist provide a talk last year on prostate health and the limitations of current testing methods. To address that they've developed an imaging based biopsy method as normal biopsy is like trying to hit a pinata in a 747 hanger.

I get my bloods done every year, PSA, cholesterol etc
Getting old sucks.

The algorithm approach to identifying cancers etc. should help with this. Take all the experience of the specialists, all the tests you can lay your hands on, and feed them into the box with the blinking light on it.

I fucking hate IT fluffybunnies who change the way apps etc look and work. It seems I just get used to way an app works and where to find everything and some arse hole decides to change things during an update.
Stop changing things!!!

I’m amazed the fern has taken this long to descend into a cycling war.

Last we heard he went off to Mexico and got caught up in a drug cartel

Ohhh yes. I can take that one step further - secret updates that you don't know about and mean that you get calls from your staff saying that "nothing works". The eftpos people do it, the retail sofware people do it, our head office do it, etc, etc.
If you are going to change something bloody tell me so that I know who fucked the system up!

Have we done queues yet? Any queue, all queues. Fuck queues.
Speaking of queues, when I first moved to Australia, I found it odd that the person at the counter would always say "next please". I'm thinking do Australians not know how the fuck a queue works, I can clearly see when it is my turn, I don't need to be told.
