Updated trial protocol = sign consent again & this time a new form added regarding pregnancy. Point out that Mrs DMR had hysterectomy following cervical cancer diagnosis 8 years ago so seems unlikely to concern us. I still have to sign and while doing so all I can hear is Reg from Life of Brian...

Standout comment at the bottom of latest CT scan results: "Spleen, pancreas, kidneys and adrenals are unremarkable" Unremarkable? I've got a radiologist dissing my internal organs. "Your problem is you've got a dull spleen mate. Kidneys not much to write home about either."
