“Tuesday I get seized by pain that feels like all my back ribs and all front are broken. Literally as if someone stamped all over me and smashed them.. or as if someone beat the shit out of me.. or I got run over by a car.
Doctor comes.. says if it ain’t gone in two days to go hospital. Thursday night its way worse.. So my sister takes me to hospital. They rush us to another hospital saying I have an abdominal anyerism. So we’re thinking ok.. I could croak any minute.. and we start making plans.. as to how the kids will be ok… fuck sake…
Hospital decides there isn’t an anyerism but a kidney stone… send me home with solpedine.. fuck sake..
friday night fucking agony again only worse this time.. Until I’m on all fours fucking crying my eyes out in pain.. can’t find a place to be that will stop it and the solpedine does’t do Jack.
Doctor comes at midnight… gives me demerol shot.. says he thinks I have a blood clot on my lung and I’m to get to hospital that night… I go into shock…”
Yikes.

[Dr Christian Jessen and model Daniella Moyles in Dublin today]
Not so fast.
Dr Christian Jessen, presenter of Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies, helped launch a new public awareness campaign to help those suffering from premature ejaculation. Takecontrol.ie aims to help take the taboo out of PE, a condition that effects one in five men.
All viral on the Imgurz this week and firmly at the nightmare end of the squee spectrum: pictures by Jessica Florence (top 4), Ellen van Deelen (5) and others.
You better believe this is an actual thing that you’ve not seen the last of.
