About 30 years ago I was convinced I was bleeding in the back passage and sheepishly went to my doctor, fearing it was something I just had to face. After examining me he gave me an appointment at the hospital. Only after it was all over did I realise what the cause had been, which I then kept to myself for all time following (oh, the shame!), hoping they'd forget about me, which they did. I eventually wrote about it in my blog a couple of years back, not daring at the time to tell my GP and the hospital that I'd been wasting their time - not to mention my own humiliations - of undergoing rectal examinations, colonoscopies (drinking barium solutions and fasting), taking time off work etc. Even now when I think about my embarrassment turns me as purple as....well, beetroot!Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-19271281002722769982013-11-14T08:23:30.167+00:002013-11-14T08:23:30.167+00:00I once gave the chickens LOTS of beetroot leaves a...I once gave the chickens LOTS of beetroot leaves and trimmings, the sh*t in the henhouse the following day made me reel in horror.
