Ostomy Memories of Surgeons

This topic is about a person sharing their experiences and memories with surgeons over the years, particularly related to their ileostomy surgeries. They reflect on the relationships they've had with these medical professionals and share a humorous story about surgeons' preferences for patients.

Here are some key points from the story:

1. The person had their first ileostomy surgery in 1964. They don't remember the surgeon's name but are grateful for his skill, which contributed to their long life.

2. In 2011, they needed a revision surgery. The new surgeon allowed them to choose the location for the new stoma, which they appreciated. They chose a spot slightly lower than the original.

3. The night before the surgery, the surgeon humorously claimed that surgeons are "top of the food chain." The person, being a trial lawyer, responded with a witty remark that lawyers feel the same about their profession.

4. The post concludes with a funny story about four surgeons discussing their favorite types of patients. The punchline is that politicians are ideal patients because they are "heartless, gutless, and spineless, and their head and asshole are interchangeable."

No specific advice or product information related to ostomy care was shared in the responses to this story.
