New names and Hernia Awareness Month

First of all, we've got some great new names that were submitted for the contest. Check out the newest poll, and vote for your favorite. (Personally, I'm leaning towards "Battlestar Ballectomy.")

Also, quite by accident I discovered this 2007 article in the Baltimore Times-Herald that tells us June is hernia awareness month. Who knew? Who cared? Actually, I still don't really care.

The article states, in part:
"June is Hernia Awareness Month, a great time to see your doctor if you suspect you may have a hernia, or to have your hernia evaluated. Thanks to improved anesthetic and surgical techniques, hernias can be treated even on an outpatient basis with minimal pain and a shorter recuperation period."

Hey, as far as I'm concerned, it's always a great time to see your doctor.
