As well as making you all laugh, every now and then we like to believe we're assisting in your education. Of course, there's the stuff you learn in school (Ox-bow lakes in Geography, fractions in Maths, how to play with ball-bearings in Physics, dates in History, and so forth), and the stuff you learn at University (in medicine, as discussed below, mostly TLAs which you will half-remember about a week after your exam and then mix up, because basically everything does everything), but there are also the valuable life lessons you pick up along the way (like it's not a Caius bop unless someone goes to A&E, don't pick a fight with a moving vehicle [it will always win]). In order to prevent you from having to learn one of these the hard way, and in order to ensure you've all seen this gem of knowledge, I refer you to the fourth page of "Things I Learn From My Patients" in Geraldine's last post.
Namely, to this entry:
"the painless chancre of primary syphilis, the cauliflower-like growths of HPV, the blisters of herpes, and the urethral discharge of gonorrhea/chlamydia can, indeed, all exist on a single penis."
This falls under the general category of: for the love of all that is holy, use a condom.
Thank you. STDs 101 is now at an end.
Love,
