Medical insight, personal stories and humor from a urologist who has been where you are now.
Continued from the place on my face removed, retrieved from the trash, found put in formalin and then in my pocket and then to the 1994 car with old as hell tires to find that one is flat. It is a humid but not overly hot early September day in North Georgia. Without missing a …

Okay...you get over the age of 50 and all of a sudden all of these weird skin spots start coming up all over your body and particularly your face. The sun exposed places, the disease of farmers. Looming in the background is the "M" word...melanoma. My wife posed an interesting question a few weeks ago, …
I went to a funeral yesterday and learned that the accident that led to the passing away of the person was complicated by a GMC brand car's air bag not deploying. My wife is a bit flummoxed by my getting the white van fixed. "Its got an air bag," I say. "The van is over …
What band and what album...Rolling Stone Magazine....the number one album of all time. This van thing and the "get a new car dad" thing is getting to be a bit much. A new Ford F150 is about 32,000 and a used car comes with as they say, "someone else's problems." I can get the POS …

Abbey Road Live Cam-I am mesmerized by this. My wife and our three children were visiting my mother and grandmother one holiday at my childhood home at 103 N. Lewis St. in LaGrange, Georgia when the children were young. The house is one block off the square in LaGrange, across the street from the …
So I am camping with my son's scout group and a father I was assigned to be in the same tent tells me that he loves sweet tea. "Is that so?" I ask. "Yes, love it. I have it everyday for lunch no matter where I am," he says. He tells me he was a …
"That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" Park the car at the side of the road you should know time's tide will smother you and I will too when you laugh about people who feel so very lonely their only desire is to die well I'm afraid it doesn't make me smile I wish I could laugh …
