Say hello to my little friend … “Pietrica”
Over a year ago I was diagnosed with gallstones after experiencing enough pain episodes which managed to convince me to visit my GP. Those of you who know me a little bit are aware of my “avoid doctors at all costs” philosophy and I know exactly what you are thinking: “them pain episodes must have…
