doctor, you are a dumbutt

So went to see the doctor today. The usual doctor wasn't there, so got this really greasy-looking creepy old man. wtf, man? He said I might have gallstones. Um... gallstones = severe pain on right side. I told you I don't have sharp pain, just ickiness.. Dad concurrs in the ulcer-ness

It depends on the size of the gallstones. (My mother, two grandmothers, sister, and father all had them, so I consider myself something of an expert.) If they're small gallstones, then they get wedged in the duct and hurt pretty horribly, but if they're large gallstones, then they don't get stuck, but just gum up the works a bit, which is less painful.(My mother and sister had the small kind, my father had the large kind, and one grandmother had I don't know which kind, but she lived with them for decades (eating soda crackers and seltzer) before she trusted doctors enough to operate.)
