Under The Chirugeon's Knife
'A Complete Treatise on the Stone & Gravel' (1710) by John Greenfield, M.D. |
Our thoughts at this time go out to our esteemed colleague, Thadeus, who, yesterday, went under the chirugeon's knife to have a stone the size of a golf ball removed. We have report that he is making good progress and will soon be able to bite heartily into a delicious slice of Fickle Cake.
Huzzah for Thadeus!
Dear Friends,
ReplyDeleteKnowing your interest in all things quirky and historical, may I recommend a trip to the museum collection at Norfolk and Norwich hospital. It started life as a path lab specimens and today houses the world's largest and most important collections of stones. Not geo but biological - kidney, gall bladder etc. An antiquarian delight
A fellow connoisseur.

Dear Patricia,
DeleteWe were talking about this collection recently and I do think that the Society should enquire about how we might access and see these curios for ourselves. Your prompt is a timely reminder and I thank you for that.
Huzzah!

My earnest wishes that we see Thadeus back on the golf course as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteDear Tom,
DeleteI passed your message onto poor frail, shaking, sweating, delerious Thadeus and his response was, "urggh... grrrrh.... gurgle... tweeble sprockets..."
Huzzah!
Tee from a Thermos flask, to my ears - shaken, not stirred.
