Since
@Splinty is our resident medic, I have a few questions that crossed my mind yesterday. It was a fairly hot and kind of humid day yesterday, and at one point the power went out for a couple hours. I was thinking of telling you that these questions came to mind when I was peeling my sweaty sack off the inside of my thigh, but then decided that wasn't relevant to the topic at hand.
Why do doctors grab your balls and ask you to cough when checking for a hernia? Isn't a hernia referring to a herniated disc in your spine? Is there a different hernia I don't know about? If I had a herniated disc in my back, wouldn't I be aware of it as I hear it hurts like hell?
What's the deal, man? Hit me with some knowledge.
