I’ve got polycystic kidney disease and my kidneys are huge. It’s always fun when a new doctor gives them a feel, it’s a bit of a surprise.

[@DoctorODonovan]

Not actually felt many in the past - I’m sure many medical students ask you to examine you. Wishing you the best Paul

[@ukar69]

@@DoctorODonovan before my transplant I’d been in hospital a few times with things like burst kidney cysts and peritonitis. Medical students would sometimes come around and diagnose me, a good learning experience for them and a bit of a shock to see how big kidneys can get, they’re both about a foot long!
