I’m more accustomed to the science coming from photon-counting x-ray telescopes, not so much being the target of a photon-counting x-ray microscope, but … 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, a CT scan was just part yesterday’s emergency visit to the urology department of the Heidelberg University Clinic 😬

A pretty miserable way to spend seven hours on a Saturday, so do yourselves a favour:

Drink more water, folks 🚰
No, more than that 🚰🚰
Keep going 🚰🚰🚰✌️

@markmccaughrean Ouch! You must be pissed off....

@Luke_Drury Well, I was quite literally piss-off, unable to urinate at all, yesterday morning, which is what precipitated the trip to the hospital. I'd had waves of pain at 3am, 7am, & again at 10am, & they were getting worse.

I was not in a very pleasant mood until I finally got some pain relief around 3pm – there were several other patients in the urology department with even worse problems than me & the team were very busy.
