I was getting ready to post about a time I was running the bowel after closing a couple of holes from a gsw, when I felt what I thought was a condom, or ballon: a round rubbery thing. "This guy must have been smuggling drugs," I announced to the crew. Then the thing moved. And like a sissy I yelled and dropped the bowel. It was ascaris. Scared me. I think I'll post about it anyway, sometime.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-83615782697492874492007-07-07T18:32:00.000+02:002007-07-07T18:32:00.000+02:00Eeew...now that's something that will DEFINITELY p...Eeew...now that's something that will DEFINITELY put me off spaghetti.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-4785450626697689962007-07-07T08:33:00.000+02:002007-07-07T08:33:00.000+02:00sure jason. any time. and thank you for your pre s...sure jason. any time. and thank you for your pre suicide consideration for your surgeon.<BR/><BR/>the worst story was actually a friend of mine. he operated a child with an obstruction and secondary perforation due to a bezoar of ascaris worms. when he opened they started crawling out of the abdomen and up his arm and over the edge of the wound onto the drapes. he probably doesn't eat spaggetti.Bongihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12918640034313468627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37286253.post-69151111838552452402007-07-07T03:49:00.000+02:002007-07-07T03:49:00.000+02:00Sounds gross....

The young man had recently eaten red beans and rice (a delicious staple in Baton Rouge, LA). It took a while, but I enjoy that wonderful Cajun food again.
