Embarrassing Bodies Down Under recap: Making the cut S1 E2 Recap Chris is surprised to hear of Dr Ginni's remedy for his tight foreskin. Let's be honest, if we're watching Embarrassing Bodies Down Under then we've probably seen the British version, and we shouldn't be shocked at anything on this local incarnation. Cutting skin is nothing unusual - there are many cases of people who've lost a lot of weight and have their excess skin cut off. But there's some skin cuts best left unseen. As they say in all good TV shows, more of that later. The adventures for our fearless foursome this week, begins with a straw poll on the beach of what the word "Aussie" means to other Australians. Dr Sam struggles to find any volunteers for a street-side prostate check. "Bogan: no rules; swears a lot, farts a lot, swears a lot," says one woman who looks like she's not farted for at least a few weeks. If this is what we think of each other, no wonder international visitors sometimes have complaints. But, as narrator Dr Cindy Pan points out, Australians are fat, and getting fatter. By 2025, 80 per cent of Australians will be obese if our weight increases at the same level it is now, she says. Enter the first cut. We meet Anne, 26, who lost more than 55 kilograms, but she is afflicted by saggy skin. Lots and lots of saggy skin. Dr Brad drops to his knees to check out Anne's belly apron, where she has been afflicted by skin infections because it rubs against itself. Dr Ginni tries to stop Tamara from swimming in sweat. Anne is sent to a surgeon where she has liposuction to remove the excess skin on the back and an enormous tummy tuck. More than 10kg of skin and fat is taken off Anne's stomach. Try that on with a bad back. The secondary cut is for Chris, whose bedroom performance is less than fulfilling, hence a visit to Dr Ginni. Look away now if you're squeamish. Chris' foreskin is tight and has been getting tighter over the past few years; meaning there's no sensation during sex. The diagnosis is phimosis, which could stop Chris being able to urinate or have sex at all. Bummer. Fortunately, Dr Ginni is able to fix it. Chris must have a - wait for it - circumcision. And fortunately for us, we viewers have a front row seat. I can hardly wait. I once thought that my only limit on this program were dental emergencies. I was wrong. Blokes may be keen to protect their penis but as Dr Sam points out, as our tour of mens' plumbing continues (joy), men will not get their prostate checked. It's all too hard. He offers a prostate check to random men on the street and in a complete surprise, only one takes him up on that. Fortunately our chosen subject's prostate is A-OK, which is just as well. The ladies aren't forgotten, though; there are issues with a smelly vagina (too much cleaning actually damages the acids that combat smells there), as well as excessively sweaty hands that drip onto the ground (caused by polycystic ovaries). Tamara's hands and feet have been sweaty since she was a girl but the condition got worse when she hit puberty. Paper disintegrates when the now 20-year-old touches it - perhaps valuable for some government departments - and she is unable to hold her boyfriend's hands. To combat the excess sweat, Tamara puts up with 30 injections of Botox in each hand to stop the sweating. Dr Christian makes a couple of cameo appearances: one is during a visit to a pole-dancing class to examine nipples, and the other to compare urine, which is simply delightful. A group of guinea pigs provides a sample vial each (great for bringing a group together if nothing else), which are analysed. Dr Christian's Australian visa gets cancelled when he says that one man's sample, which is rather dark and somewhat frothy, is akin to Aussie beer. Memo Doc, if by some miracle you are allowed to stay here after that careless comment, then avoid pubs and breweries for some time. As if a circumcision wasn't enough, next week the doctors deal with a penis implant in a bumper show about men's health. There may well be another writer's name at the top of next week's recap if there's more graphic penis surgery - I may conveniently take ill.
