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!
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.
No, no, no-no, no-no-no-no, no-no-no!
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…
Hate it when that happens
New bowel movement just dropped
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.
Who ordered the haggis?
Could obliterate a hot dog eating contest though.
whoopsie poopsie!
Taking the meaning of sneezing your guts out to another level
Reminds me of Popavalium Andropoff’s gutsy effort
(Guessing this didn’t make it out of Aus much, there’s a reference in this UrbanDictionary link for the uninitiated)
