I was going through old paperwork today when I found an old first aid certificate from a course I did at work. This got me thinking, as you do, as to why I can't ever remember covering stomas or ostomy. I know this is a bit of a strange one, but why do you think this is? I have my own opinion that it's a taboo subject that only ostomates can understand, but sometimes I can be a tad paranoid.
