Kidney Stone?

Tweet

Are you familiar with kidney stones? How big can you anticipate them to be? Or rather what is the largest size can you anticipate it to be in one's body? The size of a melon seed, grape, prune or golf ball? Well, I can tell you that if those are the sizes that you are anticipating, then what you are about to read here will amaze and shock you. For this kidney stone patient, a Hungarian had a kidney stone size equivalent to a coconut. Amassing a 2.5lb weight, I just cannot imagine the pain he had undergone whilst the stone was still lodged in his kidney. Ouch! The discovery was actually accidental as he was originally undergoing an abdominal operation. So, kudos here for the operating team who were alert to spot the stone and relieve the patient from further and future discomforts. Life is really fragile indeed and I was glad that at the end of the day it was not cancer.
