A former boss was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few months ago and had surgery early this year. On a couple of occasions he has mentioned that one of the risks with this surgery is a reduction in sexual function (this appears to bother him).

Today he told me he is recovering OK and is encouraged by the fact that his surgeon’s name is Rod Stud!

I thought he was joking. He wasn’t. (Although the surgeon’s surname is actually Studd, which isn’t quite as funny.)
