[edit] Causes?
Surely some casues should be listed?
[edit] RE: Looking for a picture
What about this picture from this article. --Wackojane 08:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Looking for a picture
I guess we're looking for a patient or MD with a willing patient to take a picture and release it here... --Steven Fruitsmaak 19:02, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] re recent thorough edit
the info and format are generally good, BUT although it is emphasized early on that hernias occur in many places besides the abdomen, only the specific types of ABDOMINAL hernias are listed.Sfahey 15:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Correct! Certainly discus hernia should be addressed, I think. --Steven Fruitsmaak 18:45, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New, intense edit
I systematically revised the article, please comment. --Steven Fruitsmaak 00:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- Very nice job. By the way, I corrected a few spelling errors (what I thought were spelling errors) before I realized that they may be alternate spellings (possibly British). So please change them back if you prefer. If you think the article may benefit from a photo, take a look at Image:Ppdh2.JPG, which is a peritoneopericardial hernia, postmortem. Of course, it's of a cat and a bit graphic, but let me know. It's on the congenital diaphragmatic hernia page already. --Joelmills 03:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm not a native English speaker, so thanks. I think we might want a better photo, possibly of an abdominal hernia.
golly, that last was a pretty intense edit. details re "inguinal hernia" would be better added at that link, and only a lawyer would tack on the admonition about the coin application. Sfahey 16:22, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- I'm a doctor and I don't want anyone thinking that that advice is recommended by anyone in the medical field. Alex.tan 06:16, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Perineal hernia
I changed the last edit which put perineal hernia as a type of Cooper's hernia. Cooper's hernia is a retroperitoneal hernia, while a perineal hernia is a hernia of the pelvic diaphragm, so they are quite different. --Joelmills 19:37, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Robin Williams
The trivia about Robin Williams seems to be true, if you take a look at some Google results. The article on Inside the actors studio also states it. However I can find no reputable source for it right now, so if nobody finds one this may be deleted.

- Thanks for researching this. As you say, it likely is true but as you point out, it needs to be supported by a reliable source, especially since this is a living person:
