Appendix has been removed

Bob The Skutter

Complete Arse Cleft
In Memoriam
I can't stay on long since i'm posting on my phone, but i just thought i'd post. After a long and painful weekend i went A&E to find the gp had misdiagnosed me and instead of a uti i had to have my appendix removed which they didn't like my odds with my heart/lung problem. So they transferred me to a specialist centre. It's taken half the week but it's done and i'm on the mend, i hope.
 
Ooh, misdiagnosing appendicitis as a uti, that could end badly...

Glad the hospital picked it up Bob and that you are on the mend.
 
Sorry about all the trouble you had to go through, but I'm glad you're on the road to feeling better. :)
 
Yikes, that must have been scary. I'm glad everything turned out well. :bolian:

I'd have a few questions about the competency of that GP....
 
No good. Feel better soon. Who needs a damned appendix anyway?! When will evolution catch up and get rid of it already?!

Get well soon, Bob! God Bless.

Actually, the purpose of the appendix has been determined to be a warehouse for good bacteria that lives within the GI tract. If some disease kills the good bacteria and/or is flushed a way, it provides a way to replenish the system.

While it is not used as much in developed areas of the world, in lesser developed areas it is more important.
 
Get well soon, Bob. Sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Hope you'll be home well in time for Christmas. :)

Dude.

Glad you're on the mend. Stay strong! :techman:
 
Bob's cool, this fellow just joined the NHS;

Aside from that hope you're well in time for Christmas day itself.
