You’re Talking Out of Your Backside, Barefoot

Hi Scott,

I enjoy your columns, but I was a little concerned about last week and the ‘cold stethoscope to your nether regions’. A stethoscope is a listening device, and for the life of me I can’t think of a reason to listen to one’s crotch. Bowel sounds, yes, but that’s as far south as it should go. I think your doctor might be taking advantage of you.

Hi Ryan,

I think you may be on to something (I’m not even going to tell you how he checks my prostate). Anyway, by all accounts last week’s column on getting a better deal on health insurance managed to temporarily crash the government website privatehealth.gov.au. I feel better now!

Scott.
