Thanks for your time and your comments!

Thanks Broelan!

Thanks again broelan. Now we just need someone to comment...

I have read them - and I went all squeamish. Apart from that, I couldn't see anything to comment on...


... apart from asking if there are any common or garden names for any of these problems and emergencies?

"and I went all squeamish. "

Sorry about that - thanks for having a look.

The only lay term I can think of is "twisted testicle" (you can guess which entry) - otherwise a lot of people haven't even heard of these conditions, save for appendicitis.

I think this is ready to leave Peer Review? Many thanks Broelan for working on this with Tufty.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Well done Tufty!

You're catching up - I'd better start writing some more articles so you don't overtake me again

Great stuff Tufty

Well done!
