The Fifth Day

Hello People

To say I am not even slightly religious this marks the second blog post with a Christianity reference embedded in the title. If you accept the creationist theory to explain how we ended up on this flying spinning molten rock, on the fifth day god created life, more specifically the fish and the birds. Now this sounds unrelated and its presence is rather pointless in a cancer blog, right? Well, cancer attacks most if not all living animals, including birds and fish and no, sharks are not exempt from the disease. Therefore if cancer were ever to be first created, it stands to reason that it was on this fifth day, that it originally began its killing spree. That being said the main reason I have labelled my post this is yet again the number mentioned, this being the fifth entry and all, no hidden religious meaning intended.

For dramatic effect and to once again give meaning to otherwise meaningless title, I am going to say it was a Friday (The fifth day of the week). We received a call. If you remember I said if they called it meant trouble was afoot. This was not the exception to the rule. The doctor on the phone played the pronoun game for awhile, actively avoiding saying anything substantial and just insisting to see me, hopefully before day's end. Five hours later (dramatic effect again) we were back in the Doctor's Surgery. The head Doctor (Doctor White) was busy that day so instead we would have to see one of his minions. For reasons I will explain later and to avoid naming and shaming I shall call him Dr Bishop.
