who got their appendix taken out?
 

d'oh

once again. scientists/med doctors/Darwin don't know shit.

glad my parents were smart enough to not believe the bullshit. i still have my tonsils and my foreskin as well

what does Darwin have to do with mod3rn medical ideas about the appendix?

do not forget that medical science is a field less than 150 years old.
physics and chemistry are roling in the HUNDREDS.

medicine is a baby science.

from the article "No less than Charles Darwin first suggested that the appendix was a vestigial organ from an ancestor that ate leaves, theorizing that it was the evolutionary remains of a larger structure, called a cecum, which once was used by now-extinct predecessors for digesting food."

so Darwin suggests its some useless evolutionary remains, everyone's like: "sounds good to me, let's just remove that shit cuz useless surgeries are fun". grand.

Darwin claimed in his "Descent of Man" that the appendix was vestigial and science more or less went along with it until now.

Shit, late reply, whatever.

people removed and remove the appendix not for kicks ya doofus, but because it would get swollen and rupture! They do not just remove them for no reason! jeez! way to come off as ig'nant on the medicine tip man!

the only time they are removed is when they are infected.

now, foreskins is another issue.

my cecum still has it's foreskin.

thank you.

obviously if its broken its fine....

but i'm sure if they had known it was useful, they might've tried to save it... kinda like how you don't get yr finger cut off if its broken or infected.

the problem is, once it's ready to burst, it's too late for antibiotics and most people wait until it's time to go to the ER.

so, please go ahead an hold onto yr pusbag 'til it 'splodes.

ps: the only time that the appendix is removed prophylactically is if the surgeon's already "in there".

what causes it it so splode?

Can we all just agree that cut dicks look nicer than uncut dicks?

infection
yes.

<3

8====þ Ftw

what causes infection?


and re: dicks - - ... depends on the cut. i've seen some dudes who were absolutely butchered.

bacteria

eh, interweb consolations are nice & all, but MY DICK IS BETTER THAN YOURS.

ha ha ha

ps- your foreskin called. o wait, there's no reception in the sewer.

from the article, i gather that the appendix is built for bacteria. what do all the people with fine appendixes have in common? better diet?

I always knew you were BI.

no dude.

just part-gay because i like fashun now.

as for all the dicks i've seen... i used to live near a nude beach

You. Me. Cock fight. The winner has the more fantastic schlong.

I'd rather watch you guys use yr appendixes. I know where to get a scalpel.

my appendix is kicking his foreskin's ass in the sewer

it's a fucking bloodbath

I'm sure mine has made it's way into the Los Angeles water supply by now.

drink deep, cali.

Kind of ironic.

Are you saying it isn't really ironic?

I think he's trying to say that it's like raaaaain on yr wedding daaaaaaay.

Yup yup.

You must accept the good advice that you just can't take before giving Rep to floatingslowly again.

Except now doctors might want to treat the infection instead of cutting it right out.

I am appendixless. I had it removed so I wouldn't die, not for kicks and giggles.

But you kicked and giggled anyway, right? Who doesn't like a good kicking and giggling?

Of course I did. They gave me some pretty sweet drugs.

you guys are all pussies.

Having foreskin is like never cutting your toe nails.

i almost died because of my appendix.

it became infected and i went to the hospital to get it removed. just as they were getting ready to put me under, the damn thing ruptured. thankfully i was already on my way to the operating room, so it wasn't a huge deal.

really odd sensation, though, feeling your appendix rupture.

do you believe in rupture?

what does it feel like?

I'm said to be a miracle. I had my appendix out a couple of years ago now. I was feeling severe pain for weeks, on and off, until ut got to the point where the pain was so severe that I'd drop to my knees and continue to further more roll around squirming, all while convincing myself I must be celiac. So I put up with this for a while, like a few months until it got to the point where I explained above and I dragged myself to the doctors, I explained my pains and took a piss test. Turns out I had a bladder infection so I was sent home with anti-biotics and a week later I had no more pain. A few days later I got a call from the doctor who had gotten back the ultra-sound results and she urgently directed me to go to emergency, so goes on to explain that the ultra-sounds results showed that my appendix had burst and just just said get straight to hospital. I got there and they put me straight in, and doctors and nurses kept coming in and out and I got a bunch of tests and needles and put on a drip and sent home 7 or so hours later considering my appendix had already burst and I was in no more pain they let me go after a long talk between themselves... So then I was booked in for a few months later to get it taken out to try and let it heal and make the surgery less complicated, but it worked the opposite way - it was meant to be over night surgery but turned into 9 or so days because it had healed but it had stuck to other organs which it had to be cut away from etc.
Pretty terrible few weeks/months, but being in hospital for even that amount of time can be life-changing, I found.

/end story

All's good now though.

same here!

mine was the size of a fucking yam (well, relatively).

it was ready to ass-plode, so they cut it.

i had it on a jar for a couple of years, then it got tossed when we moved
