I do agree with what you are saying. But I think part of the responsibility should be with the T also. If you have a medical issue that is causing bad smelling gas, making those around you uncomfortable, because let's face it, it is not a pleasant thing, they should say something about it, not sit in silence like it isn't happening.
In therapy we learn to deal with our issues, if a T is farting and stinking up the place, regardless if it is a medical problems or not, they need to know how to deal with this problem when with other people. (especially a T at work) Ignoring the issue isn't the answer. The beano is just a joke, (or it was for me anyway) I don't really think anyone believed we actually was serious about doing that. Farting is an uncomfortable situation in public, and sometimes we aren't able to just go up and ask a person about it. (especially a person's T)
I think this thread was meant to be funny, not so serious. At least that is what I thought. I will go crawl back into my cave now.
My dad had colon cancer, and while that wasn't funny, his farts were. (farts are just funny anyway) But that is just me. But at least he acknowledged them when he did them.
Besides even a beginning T knows, if issues are in the room, it can't be ignored like a giant pink elephant, it needs to be dealt with because it is affecting the therapy. Just sitting there without an "excuse me." seems rather rude, no matter what the reason is.
