Hey men,

Good to see a healthy response to the idea of a men’s health focus for the website. Let’s go ahead and see where it leads us. Just as a simple example of the benefit of sharing information – I am aware of someone recently recommending to a fellow classmate, that if he goes ahead to have a prostate biopsy, he should insist upon doing it under a general anaesthetic! Sounds like bloody good advice to me.

A couple of points in response to questions:

• The page will be password protected;
• Even if you don’t contribute your ailments does not mean you can’t make use of the information. Remember, we are all in this together so if you haven’t shared your ailments and something comes up in the future, don’t feel that you can’t reach out to anyone on the list.
• The aim is not to see who has the longest list of ailments – I wish the only thing I’d ever had was an ingrown toenail – I’d be delighted to share the info.

So feel free to email your ailments to rmcclassof1972@gmail.com and I’ll add you to the table.

Here’s the list of ailments – if you have a further suggestion please email me.
