Florida man sneezes his intestines out of his body at restaurant

I try to read all the articles I post but for this one I noped out after 1 sentence. Enjoy!

    As long as the intestines don’t get sliced up or covered in crap (and need debriding,) they’ll just button it back up and repeat the healing process. This time with added instructions to not sneeze.

    He had abdominal surgery, and the force of sneezing opened up the incision. Which isn’t exactly unheard of. The big thing is to avoid making it worse. Which sounds obvious, but people are dumb; and when they just blew their guts out their stomachs…. People are even dumber.

      I’m still noped out from when I read an article that an Indian guy assidentally blew up his buddy with an air pump thing you use fo fill tires or something else with air.

      1/10 homicide, yuck

        You sure it wasnt a fetish-thing? That sounds a lot like something idiots would do. (Right up there with getting your dick stick in a pool filter intake… the guy actually thinks he’s entitled to workman’s comp, and unemployment benefits, too….)

          No idea, didnt get those vibes but it was more a crime piece so I dunno if it ever delved that deep. People can be so freaking stupid and depraved or ironically vengeful I really couldn’t know

          If it’s the one I found looking online, the guy’s boss did it as a practical joke and didn’t “blow him up”, but caused internal damage that he died from 15 days later.
