Man’s 11-lb stool removed, that’s what the headline read. I have noticed that when it comes to internal organ some really bizarre things can happen to a person and they can still live. That is if I am to believe all the TV shows dedicated to the strange abnormalities of the human race. Things like giant worms in their stomach or weird worms that swim up your urethra, you can find a show about it. Used to be that you could only find that stuff on the cover of a rag as you checked out at the grocery store. Now they are on every channel. In the not so distant past things like this would happen but no one would know about them. The really large people who had to be carried out of their home on a bulldozer might have been a local story but now they have a reality show and you can see how they are doing every week. You can also catch up on what you missed by going online and watching old episodes. You can see surgery, pet surgery, live births, removal of foreign objects and any other kind of cutting people open on a number of cable channels. The idea that anything is off-limits has gone and in its place is a free for all showing about anything that can be sensationalized. I have to say that some of it is really interesting and in the days of only four channels I would have never been able to witness open heart surgery. Now I can eat my dinner and find out what happened to the poor fellows obstructed bowel pausing only for refills of my ice tea and to serve myself another helping.
