Is it a butter knife?

We're not a hundred percent sure.

Yeah.

I'm like, I don't know what it is.

So I'm just going to prepare for everything.

And I said, well, how did it get in there?

And he said, your colon's kind of like a vacuum.

I guess he put it in there and then forgot about it.

in order for it to travel that far up into your colon.

Exactly, but you can't.

At this point, if you have a sharp thing in your abdomen, we're not dealing with your hernia.

He went down.

He consented him.

We bring this patient up to the operating room, and we kind of get started.

And I don't want to get too gross.

This is my job, so it's not gross to me.

But we open this person up.

This one...

because it was so far up we just do an incision right down the middle and at this point we don't know what it is so we're tenderly oh my god it could be a bomb like in Grey's Anatomy also isn't it crazy that you can just open up a human and like feel around for stuff it's so weird it is we can even like move things out to get to things so we're feeling around we kind of feel where it is and

by some miracle, this person hasn't perforated their bowel by having this thing in there.
