Amazing Medical Fact

Amazing Medical Fact Revealed!!

It has just been revealed in Tomball, Texas that a torn rotator cuff  can be transmitted from one person to another.

It was discovered that a torn rotator cuff suffered by Richard Blackmon (Tomball resident) was transmitted to Ms. Joyce Blackmon, spouse of the aforementioned Richard Blackmon.

What is significant is that Richard’s first tear (He has had two this year.) wasn’t transmitted to Ms. Blackmon.  The second one was after a period of three months.  Doctors are now studying whether it is a cumulative effect and requires more than one.

Local veterinarians are anxious to see whether it can be transmitted between species to either or both of their poodles.

As a sidelight, Ms. Blackmon will be having her cuff repaired on August 9.  Colin Blackmon has volunteered to care for her during the month of August and Ms. Nancy Stevenson-Dimascio will assume the responsibility for September.  No arrangements have been made for continuing care beyond the September timeframe as of press time.

First of all, as a stalwart reader of your publication, let me express my admiration at your remarkably low subscription fees, and the fact that you continue to not clutter your pages with the clutter and insidious influence of advertisements.

Secondly, while I am not a doctor, I did meet a guy who once played one on television, so I think that leaves me qualified to let you know that you have little to fear in way of infecting your poodles. Though I would add that if you feel you've ever caught anything from them, even if it is just the urge to mark your territory in an unseemly way in public, then you might want to hightail it to your nearest veterinary general physician.

I sent Ms. Blackmon my sympathies in a separate letter. I continue you to wish the best for you, her and your various forays into various media.

Your devoted reader,
