Jack Dancer

I am always learning from my patients…just this Friday, after telling the patient the result of his gastroscopy and colonoscopy, my patient told me
” Good..I don’t have Jack the Dancer then”

He promptly explained to me that Jack Dancer means cancer!

Anyway, I did a further search on the web and found this useful link:
