A Lesson

Hello again friends, Recently I was watching Dr. G, it's a forensic show, about autopies. One of her strangest cases was of a man named Donald who had a severely obstructed bowel. It was obstructed by hardened waste. I didn't even really know that could be a fatal condition, but apparently his bowel was so obstructed that it eventually burst and bacteria flooded his bloodstream. Not meaning to be overly graphic, just trying to explain. Evidently even some medical conditions we usually think of as trivial can turn life threatening, just wanted to raise awareness. It's important to listen to our bodies (as Dr. G says) and we shouldn't avoid getting help when we need it.

I love Dr. G. I'm fascinated by that program. Yes, an obstructed bowel is very serious and the person should go to the ER. Have a good weekend.

It’s scary how something that seems minor can turn so serious! Definitely a good reminder to pay attention to what our bodies are telling us and not hesitate to get things checked out.
