London Man Battles Megarectum And Nearly Dies From Not Pooping: I Blame Pop Culture

For one 24-year-old man in London, poop was no laughing matter. In fact, his inability to vacate his bowels nearly cost him his life.

The unnamed man, whose medical emergency is the subject of a new entry in BMJ Case Reports, had a history of chronic constipation, but things took a dire turn when he arrived at a clinic complaining of intense abdominal pain. The man was given laxatives to relieve some of the pressure, but returned just a couple of days later with even worse pain. As it turns out, he was so “backed up” that his organs were beginning to shut down.

A CT scan revealed that the man was suffering from conditions known as megacolon and megarectum.

I’m sick of this shit! You know what this is? It’s a result of these fucking games that the youths are playing. The goddamn youths! Every time I’m playing a video game online through the internet, the young kids are talking about how many days it’s been since they have taken a shit. Bragging about their ability to hold it in. It’s foul!

One kid will say, “I havent gone in three days.”

“Three days? that’s it you pussy ass bitch? I havent shit in like 8 days.”

“I havent shit in over a year!”

“Shut the fuck up, Chance. No way. You’d have megarectum and megacolon if you did that.”

“You’re not a fucking doctor, Connor. You dont know.”

Connor was right. Chance would have megacolon if he didnt shit for a year and megacolon is no laughing matter as our pal in London found out. Tragic.

Yesterday I warned of the dangers of becoming septic. Today, those warning went unnoticed.

As a result, doctors had to use tools to dig out all of the poop from a man’s belly. Dont let that happen to you.

Speaking of tools, if you need some new tools, why not hop on over to Lowes and check out the great deal that they have for Podfathers listeners.
