Mrs Anderson said she called a doctor when he developed a fever nearly two weeks later. The locum took two minutes to examine Daniel, before prescribing medicine for an upset stomach.
Gotta love socialized medicine. I bet this doc had 30 other patients waiting for him, which is the reason why he did this 2 minute diagnosis.

Wonder if he had any side-effects?

One of my daughter's friend's mothers is a clinical nurse. She told me about the numerous gastro-intestinal infections she sees that are being ignored by the media. Tongue and belly button piercings affect the digestive system. Everyday, teenage girls are in the clinic. She said it never stops.

looks like piercings are next to be banned. Can they start in San Franfreakshow?

The piercer, Emma Thompson, denied breaking hygiene rules
Geez - is she not getting enough movie roles to pay the bills?

I have a hard time believing that belly button piercings affect the digestive system. I would like to see the medical studies and findings. Infections, yes. Digestive issues? I don't think so.

They affect my digestive system too; it makes me sick seeing them....

I thought piercings were, like, so over.
Only one of my kids was ever even tempted to get a piercing, and that must've been about ten years ago.

I've been noticing in British articles lately, that both the writers and the quoted sources are referring to the doctors who see NHS patients as "the locum" rather than as "the doctor". Presumably the locums ARE doctors, but clearly patients think of them as something very different from doctors under the earlier medical systems, and are insisting on calling them something different. As best as I can tell, "locum" is being used somewhat derogatorily, to refer to the random stranger who sees the next patient in line and is not expected to be the same doctor who saw the patient last time or will see the patient next time. Given how the NHS operates, it appears that the definitions of the words in contemporary usage will soon be "locum"=NHS physician and "doctor"=any other physician.

What do they do, anchor those things to the colon?

I remember when at 17 you had to ASK to do something like that. You just didn't go do it and then walk in the front door of your parents house. That's why parents are parents because they have the wisdom the kids don't. What a horror story.

Once these silly girls get their navels pierced they can never remove the stud.
If they did their backsides would fall off.

A "locum" is someone who stands in for an official when that person is absent. We have some one less than a Doctor, here, making the call.
Love that socialised medicine!

Would it have been a "Darwin Award" had it been a 10 year old girl getting her ears pierced? Or a 17 year old boy piercing his ear?
Your argument is that the boy deserved to die because he chose to pierce his lip, correct? His good grades and not getting in trouble don't carry any weight? That's a fairly uninformed opinion to have.

Darwin awards go to people who don't think or follow herd instinct when it comes to stupid acts - even trendy ones.
"deserving to die" has nothing to do with it. And I never implied that.
