Today is World Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Day.

MS is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Today, an estimated 2.9 million people around the world have MS.
MS can cause a loss of myelin in the brain or spinal cord. This may prevent or interfere with the signals from the bowel to the brain indicating the need for a bowel movement and/or the signals from the brain to the bowel that maintain normal bowel functioning (natlmssociety.org).

Be sure to talk to your provider if you are experiencing incontinence or constipation.

Did you know that, centuries ago, the first operating rooms were called theaters?

This is because students (and other interested parties) were allowed to stand and watch surgical procedures up close.

England still uses the term “theater” for operating rooms.
