A FLORIDA MAN SNEEZED HARD ENOUGH HIS INTESTINES POPPED OUT OF HIS STOMACH
Surgery can be a dicey thing. Things can go wrong as it begins, during the procedure, or even after it’s over. And that doesn’t even include what can go wrong involving general anesthesia. But one Florida man encountered a dicey situation pretty far along after his own surgery. He had surgery to remove part of his bladder in relation to his history of prostate cancer that caused a number of other medical issues. But clearly his doctors, nor he, were expecting what happened to happen just two weeks after his surgery. The 63-year-old Florida man was eating breakfast with his wife in Gainesville when he sneezed so hard, his intestines popped out.

DINER BREAKFAST WAS TO CELEBRATE RECOVERY FROM ABDOMINAL SURGERY, THEN HE SNEEZED
Now you might be thinking that sounds horrific and disgusting. And terrifying, to boot. I tend to agree. Just imagine sneezing really hard, which isn’t all that unusual for anyone, and then you have a sharp pain in your stomach and you look down. But then you see your intestines poking out of the supposedly healed wound from your surgery two weeks ago! To make matters even more upsetting, he had just been to the doctor for a post-op follow-up and was told his surgical site looked great, and they removed the surgical staples. And that’s when he decided to go out to a diner with his wife for breakfast to celebrate.

SNEEZE THAT POPPED OUT INTESTINES GOT FLORIDA MAN ANOTHER 6 DAYS BACK IN THE HOSPITAL
And then, kachoo! Besides the sharp pain, the Florida man felt a “wet” sensation, which isn’t surprising, as he had several loops of his intestines sticking out. He understandably didn’t know what to do, so initially just covered it up with his shirt. He thought briefly about getting up and driving himself to the hospital. But fortunately he thought better of it and had his wife call an ambulance. So back to the hospital he went, where the surgeons had to “reduce” it back into his abdomen (put his intestines back in), confirm no damage and prevent any infections. 6 days later, the Florida man finally made it home.
I doubt he stopped at the diner with his wife again.
