Happy Birthday?

As if turning 50 wasn't traumatic enough, Steven received another poke up the arse from his HMO in the form of a birthday letter. In addition to wishing him many happy returns, they also urged him to go get a colonoscopy. A truly depressing letter within an accompanying leaflet that portrayed six elderly people all happy and smiling; presumably at the thought that a tube up the anus would protect them from colon cancer. Go tell that to the forty year olds who died of the disease.
