EXPERIENCING stomach pains, an elderly Fife woman last week visited her GP, a young South African whose clipped accent had occasionally caused the woman difficulty. As he conducted his examination, pressing the woman's stomach, the doctor asked: "Have you had an Easter egg today?" She was naturally puzzled, wondering whether this was a veiled criticism of her weight. "No," she replied uncertainly, "I haven't had an Easter egg today." At this point the practice nurse intervened, saying: "No, he's asking if you've had a hysterectomy."
