Florida man sneezes his intestines out of his body at restaurant
I try to read all the articles I post but for this one I noped out after 1 sentence. Enjoy!
For everyone not wanting to read the article, he lived. They checked his intestines for injury and sewed him back up.
The last sentence is the best though:
"While wound dehiscence is a well-known complication, this case is important because evisceration through the abdominal surgical site after cystectomy is poorly described in the medical literature,” the article concludes.
Basic first aid for this taught in nursing school: cover in sterile abdominal pad wetted with saline solution. Keep moist. Prepare for surgery.
Common enough that its taught in the basics and overall not a big deal. It’s just that usually this sort of thing happens only in the hospital.
Yup. Which, didn’t mention the gauze because out and about, most people won’t have access to it (or sterile saline,)
I assume he had been given instructions on it, though.
No, no, no-no, no-no-no-no, no-no-no!
The journal notes that the case is an important one because it fills in gaps in the literature about dehisence, the bursting of wounds.
The wordplay is strong with this one…
