Many of you more ardent readers know that I have been experiencing some health concerns over the last year or so. Well, last night I flipped on TV and saw something that hit a little too close to home, TLC ran a program entitled "When Surgical Tools Get Left Behind."
As some people might be aware, I recently learned that much of my illness is due to a very similar situation. No, the surgeon didn't leave a scapel or sponge in my groin as they did in the show. My surgeon left a Beef 'n Cheddar and a Roast Turkey Club in my right lung. Don't ask me how the food actually got inside my lung -- these guys are surgeons and shit -- maybe they wanted to keep the Turkey Club warm? I have no idea. Let's just say, I am happy as shit they got the potato cakes out of my spleen.
It's terrifying on know that your surgeon is eating during your operation. It's even scarier to know that he or she can't remember that they left their value meal inside your chest.
