We need to talk about gallbladders because poor Jane and Cass have been listening to us talk about wiggling ears and tailbones and tonsils, and they both specifically asked about gallbladders.

I suppose it would be a good time to start with what does the gallbladder actually do?

It does have a function.

So it's obviously got a function.

It's important.

How does our body adjust to having it removed?

What's the bottom line that we have for our question askers this week?

Jane, Cass, thank you both so much for your questions.

You can ask us a question by emailing thatrash at abc.net.au.
