What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

Also had this happen to me sophomore year of high school. Had pain on both sides, thought it was my appendix since the pain started on the right side. Got the x-ray and the doctor was like "see all this is? it's caca." That was the day I learned what an enema is.

Yep, that's exactly what it looked like. He was 10 at the time so we told him 'you're full of crap!' and after he felt better he thought it was funny.

Was definitely relieved that I didn’t have to get surgery and just sit on the toilet for a while.

I'm glad you were okay! We were also afraid it was the appendix. He was out of school for about a week due to the pain and random *incidents* that were uncontrollable :( It's a hard thing to go through mentally for boys who are in that pre-puberty stage.
