Kita: Yeah, the UK has a national health plan. A lot of things are free. Plus, due to the fact that doctors aren't paid exhorbitant amounts, not all college freshmen major in "Pre-Med" (ugh). However, nurses from there (at least, the ones I've talked to) are always stressed out. It's sort of a balance.
Oh, and is it a problem with gluten?

Yep. I pretty much can't have gluten in my diet for 3-6 months. There's only a backup of it, so once it clears out, I'm free to eat the way I use to. Which is good. 3nodding

Speaking of funny organs, Kidney stones are small, right? So why do I remember my gran having Kidney Stones the size of pebbles? Or was that the doctor lying to me?

I know that they may vary in size, but according to my biology lesson, they are a build-up of minerals that slice open a nephron (one of these small tubes) NephronsLooking at the size of those things, having a pebble sized kidney stone pass through one would have killed you. Especially finding around 5 of those. I'm really confused about that confused

Maybe the Nephrons can expand to accommodate most of the time? I'm not very good with biology... redface

Haha.
Yeah, I think that nephrons can expand, just like blood vessels. And maybe he meant small pebbles... Though I don't know why he didn't just use millimeters. You Brits can figure that sort of thing out. I want the metric system! gonk

I'm gonna stay out of this one.
But I do wonder how much a nephron can expand...
