Dear Dear Diary

I have spent too much time with medical texts of late.
"Testes descended bilaterally." A common phrase in medical texts. Why not say any other phrase? They move from within the torso into the scrotom as the fetus develops, and this is normal for male development. But we do not say the scrotal sac contains both testes, or that the testes are appropriately located. No, we state with pride that the testes are descended, like God and all His Angels descending from the Heavens to fill the scrotal sac with Maleness.
"No masses were appreciated." Well, hello? If it's an extra piece that was never meant to be there, how on earth would it be appreciated? Well, ok, I imagine if it looked like an extra breast with a nipple, it could be appreciated by many males. Or if it was an odd mass on a penis. Wait not- cannot have strange lumps on penile things. Men would completely freak out about aliens bursting forth from their private parts and fear they may turn chartreuse and fall off or something. That of course would be a bad thing.
Sigh. I hate doctors.

This one perhaps should not be here. It is what she would think. But I am not sure if she should be reading medical texts. I could do a comedy routine on medical things, but I am not sure if anyone would wish to read it.
