Medicine men go wild.
The doctors were in Tibet and it was extraordinary scenery.
Medicine men go wild was on the television last night so I turned the old box on and watched. It was a fascinating programme about two young British doctors who travelled to Asia to explore how peoples pain threshold seems to be much higher than softie westerners with their reliance on pain killers. It was necessary to close your eyes sometimes while these two doctors put themselves through what appeared to be excruciatingly painful procedures e.g. needles (i.e.knitting needle type objects) through their cheeks right through both cheeks and also allowing their tongue to be pierced by aforementioned needle.This is fabulous and educational television.

I have a low threshold of pain: my wife knows this and uses it to keep me in check ;-)
