Deb, it's perfectly ok for you to be so outspoken. I know that sometimes I need a swift kick in the rear and to be told to get my act in to gear, and I really value the friends in my life who love me enough to do that for me.

I'm currently chatting to a friend in England who's science background is a lot more biological than mine, and she's helped me find some papers that do indicate that varicocele repair is an option.

This doctor is going to find that two can play at the medical papers game!
