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!

34

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.

Your intestines should not be in your lungs. If they are, probably skip to prayer because the doctors might not make it in time.

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.

Every first aid kit in a restaurant should have a bottle of saline and some gauze for treating burns and eye injuries. There will not, however, be anybody that knows how to use said first aid kit and the owners are unlikely to be very proactive in replacing supplies.

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...

Yeah, I decided to nope out after the beginning, too. Seen too much shit in the one year I volunteered at the hospital, don't need a reminder of those. What the fuck...

I mean I stuck around just long enough to cross post, so, eh… good on you for volunteering…

The guy seems fine after treatment.... Not a great experience though.

As long as the intestines don’t get sliced up or covered in crap (and need debriding,) they’ll just button it back up and repeat the healing process. This time with added instructions to not sneeze.

He had abdominal surgery, and the force of sneezing opened up the incision. Which isn’t exactly unheard of. The big thing is to avoid making it worse. Which sounds obvious, but people are dumb; and when they just blew their guts out their stomachs…. People are even dumber.

I'm still noped out from when I read an article that an Indian guy assidentally blew up his buddy with an air pump thing you use fo fill tires or something else with air.

1/10 homicide, yuck

You sure it wasnt a fetish-thing? That sounds a lot like something idiots would do. (Right up there with getting your dick stick in a pool filter intake… the guy actually thinks he’s entitled to workman’s comp, and unemployment benefits, too….)

No idea, didnt get those vibes but it was more a crime piece so I dunno if it ever delved that deep. People can be so freaking stupid and depraved or ironically vengeful I really couldn't know

If it's the one I found looking online, the guy's boss did it as a practical joke and didn't "blow him up", but caused internal damage that he died from 15 days later.
