i’ve had bloopers with xray rin before…once a button ata on my shirt was thought of as a “mass” in my right lung.

anyway…i totally agree about old linen…they become softer, more comfortable and comforting over time. I bought a linen shirt about 6-7 years ago and it’s still great.

mart, actually, Mrs. MM figured out the “tag-like” impression is actually a result of holding the film up against a table lamp and the upper rim of the lamp caused that effect… but thanks… I am always amazed by how many folks in the medical profession course through the blog… :)

the line transecting your sixth cervical vertebrae is not the gucci tag. i would guess it would be an “artifact” of the xray film. think about it where is the tag located? it would be behind your neck not across the side of your neck. this is a lateral view meaning taken from the side so it cant be the tag. i would guess the reading would be cervical strain with arthritic changes between the vertebrae. but if you feel pain, numbness or tingling sensation anywhere from your neck to your arms, there could be a nerve impingement which cant be seen thru xray, but an mri would be a better diagnostic tool bec it will show your nerves and discs if its bulging or not.
and by the way all orthopaedic doctors are surgeons, there is no difference between them fyi. if you say that there is, maybe you went to a chiropractor like martin camara who someone called a sports doctor. and ENT doctors dont look at neck problems only ears nose and throat.

I had a liposuction done in 2002 and I almost died due to paralytic ilius. I found out later that during the operation, the doctor punctured my stomach and the anesthesia went around my abdominal area. The anesthesia paralyzed my stomach and my intestine.I was bloated and nauseated.

I ended up at Medical City (1 week with no good result) and Makati Medial Center for another week. At that time I paid 100 thousand for the lipo and it doubled due to my confinement.

The surgeon said my bloating will be gone in few days yet it almost killed me. It was the same doctor who later did the lipo to the former Ms. Philippines International who died.

have you tried consulting martin camara, the sports doctor? i’ve had a similar problem and am more than satisfied with the kind of non-intrusive treatment that he prescribed. he has a clinic along kalayaan corner makati avenue.

I share the sentiment of Maria Clara, et al. Being a regular in this blog feels like belonging to a family so we look after each other. I miss Silly Lolo’s comments as well… and Apicio’s.
