You better not EVER think you heard it all.
Especially in the medical field.

I've come across so many interesting new things in the last couple of years, I
get mind boggled.

Oh, balls, I don't mind insulting.

I remember watching my Dad, in our kitchen, pull one of his own teeth with a
pair of mechanics pliers.

Not my original idea, I'm on a lot of interesting lists.

Actually, color and penetration are the key elements. You can pay big bux to get
precise wavelengths of light for max effectiveness and high power for deep
penetration, but I have no desire to "go into business".

The doc during an annual physical noted this growth and told me to keep an eye
on it. Kept walking into doors 'till she said "Not ALL the time!"
Well, it was still there after a couple of months, so I figured I better start
trying things. The laser thing was low power and red, so it was worth a shot!
Son of a gun, it killed it!
Took a couple of months to disappear.

As a matter of fact, I am.

If we weren't meant to eat animals why are they made of meat?
