Good news! The Fat Doctor is back

Good news.

The Fat Doctor is back.

"Famine-resistant doctor, pastor's wife, mom to one son, companion to two dogs, Diet Cokehead, TV junkie and frustrated writer approaches middle age with as little grace as possible....."

Always one of my favourite medical websites, and much missed. Kindness and compassion. No vitriol here.

Take a look at The Fat Doctor's recent posts:

6. Want a tummy tuck eventually: Pannus be gone.
7. Avoid embarrassing Son when he is old enough to be teased.
8. Airplane seatbelts.....................

Teensy Problem

This morning, while peeing and contemplating all of the rest I plan to get this weekend, I glanced into the tub and saw a little mouse. It furiously pawed at the sleek wall of the tub trying to get out. Three hours later, it hadn’t made any progress and had pooped. A lot. I admit, mice scare me.

Lazy Eye

As a doctor, I know I’m lucky. My child is able-bodied, intelligent and, perhaps most importantly, humorous. As a mother, I’m very concerned about his lazy eye. He’ll be three in August, and I know we need to jump on this early.

Welcome back, Fat Doctor.

But...er...what is a cankle?
