Subject: RE: BS: Micca returns
Micca, best of luck on your upcoming invasion. As a pediatrician I don't see many patients with gallbladder problems, but the surgeon who practices in my building recently showed me a picture he took during surgery of somebody who had two gallbladders. I will leave comments about that phenomenon in the capable hands of the other 'Catters, but you might ask your surgeon if you get some kind of prize if he finds that in you. (If you're interested I think I can find a way of sending you the picture, since it was taken with a digital camera.) And Bonnie is right, you don't really need your gallbladder, it's just put in there to give a dash of color to the liver, an organ which is physiologically marvelous but visually quite dull.

Aloha,
Mark
