Not from a Medical Dictionary
Medical Experts today in London today were asked if it is time to ease COVID lockdowns.......
Allergists were in favour of scratching it, but Dermatologists advised not to make any Rash moves.
Gastroenterologists had a sort of Gut feeling about it, but Neurologists thought the government lacked the Nerve.
Obstetricians felt certain everyone was Labouring under a misconception, whilst Ophthalmologists considered the idea Short-sighted.
Some Pathologists were heard to say " Over my Dead body "while Paediatricians said " Oh, Grow up !".
Psychiatrists thought the whole idea as Madness, while Radiologists could see Right Through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and Pharmacists claimed it would be a Bitter Pill to swallow .
Plastic Surgeons opined that the proposal would put " A whole new Face on the matter ".
Podiatrists thought it as a Step forward , but Urologists were Pissed off with the whole idea.
Anaesthetists thought the whole idea was a Gas, and Cardiologists didn"t have the Heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out , leaving the decision up to the *************S in politics

Re: Not from a Medical Dictionary
At the moment are trying to remember other long words to recite Graham , thank goodness they aren’t medical terms. The ********* were not the sites spell checker but my own produce for anyone else to put in the appropriate descriptive words Cheers JS.

Re: Not from a Medical Dictionary
Remember, the longer you live the older you will be.
Age is all in the mind, the joints, the eyes and ears.
You are only as old as the person you are feeling
When in the grave the only way out is up.
1. The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54
2. The inventor of gymnastics died at the age of 57
3. The world bodybuilding champion died at the age of 41
4. The best footballer in the world Maradona, died at the age of 60.
BUT
5. The KFC inventor died at 94
6. Inventor of Nutella brand died at the age of 88
7. Imagine, cigarette maker Winston died at the age of 102
8. The inventor of opium died in an earthquake at the age of 116
9. Hennessey inventor died at 98.
How did these doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?
The rabbit is always jumping up and down but it lives for only 2 years, and the turtle that doesn’t exercise at all, lives 400 years.
So, take some rest, chill, stay cool, eat, drink and enjoy your life.
I'm sending my Nike trainers back for a refund.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
