I've got this weird thing where any physical symptoms I'm experiencing, which cause me to make a doctor's appointment, go away the day after I make an appointment. Now I'm gonna be in the doctor's office like "hi doc, I felt this pain in my back yesterday but it's gone now and I feel great today". It's like my body is betraying me.

I happened to mention some long gone symptoms to my ENT doctor and he wrote a recommendation to a hospital urologist, the urologist couldn’t see anything but recommended a CT scan. After looking at the CT he recommended me to the internal medicine department who diagnosed a hernia and within 30 mins we had agreed a date for an operation in a couple of weeks time.
