all you need to know about medical genetics

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS FOR SATIRICAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY REFLECT THE BELIEFS OF GENETIC COUNSELLORS. HOWEVER IT DOES ILLUSTRATE THE NEED FOR THE SENSITIVITY OF GENETIC COUNSELLING IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.

An interesting thing that I have learned so far about medical genetics from two different clinical geneticists is that when you see an FLK the first thing that you should look for is an FLP. Now this may seem like a lot of medical jargon, however its actually simple. What with FLK standing for "funny looking kid" and FLP standing for "funny looking parent". Equiped with this new knowledge, all I can say about this picture is, "show me the FLP!"ps- Mandy, just so you know, the poncho was Meghan's idea.

I think that's a great picture of Mandy!... she looks more joyful and cheerful than usual. FLP indeed.
