Social status rockets after stoma!!

Topic Explanation:

The forum discussion revolves around a humorous take on the social implications of having a stoma. The original poster shares an anecdote about receiving an invitation to the opening of a new endoscopy unit at their local hospital, suggesting that their stoma has elevated their social status. They express uncertainty about attending such an event, humorously questioning the social norms and potential awkwardness due to their stoma.

Advice and Insights:

- Several participants humorously suggest that the event may not be prestigious enough to warrant attendance, joking about waiting for more high-profile guests like royalty.

- There is a shared sentiment of humor and sarcasm regarding the invitation, with participants expressing doubt that missing the event would be regrettable.

- One participant shares a personal experience of volunteering for NHS students, humorously noting the limited catering options, which might resonate with the original poster's concerns about attending the event.

- Another participant shares a personal anecdote about a misunderstanding with a healthcare provider, highlighting the importance of medical professionals being informed about a patient's medical history, which indirectly relates to the original poster's humorous take on their stoma and medical experiences.
