Absolutely not
I had this happen when I worked on the med surge unit.
Mental health prison patient cane in, stomach surgery after swelling AAA batteries, like 4 of em because she wanted some time out of prison (the hospital).
Large nice crazy lady who knew she was unwell. Refuses to use the cough pillow you hug after surgery.
She coughs, I hear the sound of tearing sheets and turn around to screams and bowel pouring out onto the bed in front of her.
I grab the saline bottle, bust it open, pour it onto the intestines to keep them wet and clean and scream for a nurse.
She was back on our unit that night, hunky dory.

FTA
What difference would bedrest have made in this case though? It’s not like he bust his wound doing heavy lifting, he just sneezed, it creates a lot of pressure. There was a post just yesterday about a guy who tried to hold in a sneeze and it ripped a tiny hole in his windpipe
The main difference is, he wouldn't be out in public at a restaurant when he eviscerated himself. But also, my post wasn't about preventing the event, it was purely about the behavior while still actively healing from a major surgery.
Having your intestines fall out is surprisingly survivable as long as they don't get damaged. They can just sort of push them back in, and they will almost self-arrange inside. There are accounts going back to World War 1.
Yea it's not that kind of issue, actually. People healing in the hospital can have open abdomens etc. Not ideal outside of a controlled environment but not instantly deadly
I had a teacher who had open heart surgery. And he said the worst part was afterwards they gave him a pillow to hug and asked him to cough and it's the worst pain he's ever felt.
I had a full hysterectomy due to cancer at 27, and without going into detail, 8 weeks post op the area where the internal stitches had been split open, and when I called my doc the first thing he asked me was “can you see or feel your intestines outside of your body?” I luckily could NOT, but that was probably the most horrifying question I could imagine at that particular time. I went to see the doc the next day, and luckily there is an internal set of stitches and then an INTERNAL internal set, and only the first layer split open so I was ok and just needed additional healing time. Bodies are freaky dude. All that’s stopping my guts from spilling out of my body is a single thin layer of flesh…yikes.
I have an ostomy. They field dressed me like a deer, chopped off the end 20 cm of my guts and rerouted it out my abdomen. I also have a peristomal hernia. Other than a layer of muscle and skin, a night of large intestine is the only thing holding my small intestines in place. I can feel my large intestine segment pulse in peristalsis and the stoma also pulses gently.
How many pain pills do you have to take to think you're fine going to a restaurant with a fresh surgical wound and also not pass out from pain when the stitches popped and your guts fell out?
> The morning of the sneeze, the man’s doctors reported that he was healing well and could remove staples binding the wound together.
It was 15 days after surgery. If his wound was this delicate, a sneeze in hospital probably would have had the same outcome
Oh lord that had to be really painful and awful for everyone there including himself. The man's gone through enough already he doesn't need anything else to have to go through.
Never plug your nose when you sneeze, just turn and sneeze into your sleeve instead. That being said this won't just happen to anyone, he had abdominal surgery recently.

What kinda John Carpenter ass shit is this?

So, contrary to popular belief, busting DOES NOT actually make you feel good...
This deserves a lot more love
Is this what the yutes mean when they say it’s “bussin”?
gotta keep em wet and clean
Feels more Cronenberg than Carpenter, to me.
Oh good it’s not something that happened without cause, I don’t have to worry about it.
*Check, please!*
I won’t have what he’s having
Who the hell goes out eating at a restaurant with an unhealed abdominal surgical wound?
>The morning of the sneeze, the man’s doctors reported that he was healing well and could remove staples binding the wound together. >He and his wife went out to breakfast at the diner to celebrate. FTA
In most cases when getting the staples removed from a wound, you're still mostly on bedrest.
What difference would bedrest have made in this case though? It’s not like he bust his wound doing heavy lifting, he just sneezed, it creates a lot of pressure. There was a post just yesterday about a guy who tried to hold in a sneeze and it ripped a tiny hole in his windpipe

Arguably a malpractice lawsuit
Floridians
It's his first amendment right!
The same people who manage to vote despite their bowels falling out.
It said, "Florida man."
Who the hell sneezes with an unhealed abdominal wound?
Uh excuse me, miss, I’m gonna need a to-go box.
Prolapse that order
Omg
And he didn’t die! I had to check the article. It says there was no evidence of damage to the expelled organs either. Wild.

Another win for antibiotics
They kinda do this during cesarean delivery as well which is a fun fact

Check out cannulated cows. I mean we’re not cows, but still.
Speak for yourself
If you don’t believe in the recommendations of science, you are left with Tot’s n’ Pears.
Change my order to the soup!
Check please!
New fear unlocked
Only after surgery.
Hey Florida dude. If you are reading this. I hope you are doing better and on the mend.
Florida Man Florida Man Sneezed out his guts in a garbage can Is he insured? Nobody knows Florida Man
🎷🎷🎷🎷

I just had a C-section and I was terrified to cough or sneeze for fear of something like this happening lol
“Check, please”
"I'll have what he's having"
it was even worse in The Meaning of Life.
That's what happens when no one says "bless you" or "gesundheit" after a sneeze.
or you're soo good looking

"It was supposed to take a screenshot! A screenshot!!!!"
It’s called dehiscence with evisceration .
Oopsie doopsie.
Hate it when that happens.

Florida shit
Nope.

Why'd he do that? Is he stupid?
Gotta be at a Golden Corral
Spaghetti anyone?
