Facts can be stranger than fiction

After years of working in the hospital, the human body is more amazing than ever. The amount of things that people put inside them, develop from within their cells and accidentally found inside themselves are just stupendous. My series of cases are just the tip of the iceberg and i've not found enough time to actually write about most of them.





















Anyway, we did a laparoscopic procedure not too long ago and found this structure near the appendix. Bear in mind that we started the procedure aiming to remove an inflammed appendix only to be puzzled by this structure.

These are still images from the laparoscopic tv as I was the camera-woman holding the telescope while my boss did the operation with long instruments (a.k.a laparoscopy) through small key-hole incisions in the abdomen.

As the end of the day, we removed this 'egg' from the patient's abdomen. It was lying freely near the appendix, not attached to any structures at all. What does it look like to you?

Then came along a girl involved with an accident and she was semi-conscious. These series of images from a CT scan film should have NEVER existed.

So what do you see?
