Finger Up the Bum
Author: Michael Hart Izen
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780995278707
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Finger up the Bum is the no-holds-barred, too-much-information guide to everything you didn't want to know about Michael Izen's prostate cancer. Who is Michael Izen? Good question. In his forties, Mike was a happy family man who rarely got sick. Like most men, he wasn't a fan of dropping his drawers for his doctor to perform the ol' finger-up-the-bum exam. But after being passed along from doctor to doctor, insisting that his nether region mystery pains, midnight bathroom runs, and "softwood lumber issues" were not just in his head, Mike was finally diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. Finger up the Bum tells the true story of Michael's experience, with in-your-face humour, 100+ poop jokes, and original, off-the-wall illustrations by his cartoonist brother explaining everything from his "fallen warrior" to hot flashes to Kegel exercises, as well as touching thoughts on what really matters "in the end." You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll plotz. If you've ever had the finger-up-the-bum exam, you know a good joke is the only thing that can fix that awkward moment. Michael Izen is a Winnipeg-born family man and entrepreneur consultant whose recent terminal diagnosis sent him and his family on a path to create a book that would open a dialogue around men's health and prostate exams. Advance praise for Finger Up the Bum "I'm very proud of the wonderful job they did. Everyone should read this book." --Michael's mother "This book is full of dumb, boy jokes. Men will love it." --Michael's wife "I'm so embarrassed." --Michael's daughter

Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Author: Stephen N. Snow
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299204709
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Mohs Micrographic Surgery, an advanced treatment procedure for skin cancer, offers the highest potential for recovery--even if the skin cancer has been previously treated. This procedure is a state-of-the-art treatment in which the physician serves as surgeon, pathologist, and reconstructive surgeon. It relies on the accuracy of a microscope to trace and ensure removal of skin cancer down to its roots. This procedure allows dermatologists trained in Mohs Surgery to see beyond the visible disease and to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor, leaving healthy tissue unharmed. This procedure is most often used in treating two of the most common forms of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The cure rate for Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the highest of all treatments for skin cancer--up to 99 percent even if other forms of treatment have failed. This procedure, the most exact and precise method of tumor removal, minimizes the chance of regrowth and lessens the potential for scarring or disfigurement
