    By the way, if it happens again, don't forget to ask your doctor about fecal bacteriotherapy. It's only natural.

    So Shredder, what happened? What did you end up doing? Hope you're feeling better.

    Shredder had a ruptured appendicitis, developed sepsis and is now admitted to the surgical intensive care unit at Methodist.
























    EDIT: Just to make clear- I have no knowledge of what actually happened to the OP. This was meant to be sarcastic, and to illustrate the possible consequences of listening to medical advice from non-professionals online.

    Giving medical advice online, especially when you don't know any details about what's wrong with someone, is a bad idea. You could really hurt someone.

    If the OP thinks s/he needs to go to the hospital, s/he should go to the hospital.
    Carny, did you know that your my hero?
    And also, your awesome!




    MOD NOTE (carny): see my message above. I don't know what actually happened to the OP. :oops:
