The metoric rise of this digital phenomenon really started in 2009 with the creation of Bitcoin. Since then hundreds of ‘Crypto-Coins’ have flooded the market with most of them being nothing more than ponzi-schemes.
Then in early January of 2018 there was a sizable crash.
You’re going to stick that little tube where…???
“Well…what we’ll do is book you to come back for a Cystoscopy and check out your bladder first and make sure everything is in order.”

There’s no such thing as a stupid question…unless it’s stupid
There’s no such thing as a stupid question …unless it’s stupid
When we were children (in age at least…) most of us were reassured with this very well-known statement:
“There’s no such thing as a stupid question.”
It was our elders’ way of letting us know that communication was encouraged even if we were embarrassed to ask a question.
