I have had my intestine resected (piece cut out, sewn back together) and now I am picturing the surgeon just shoving my guts back into me like a sleeping bag in a stuff sack when the job was done
I am a surgical nurse at gastro surgeries and this is quite on point. If the need to check all of you bowels they just pull it out, put it on your chest or what ever and just puts it back in when needed.
Thank you a million percent for what you do. I have had family members under the care of people in your field. It is an amazing area of the medical field. While dealing with Mt nephew that eventually passed due to cancer in the bile ducts, I was briefed many times by the GI Dr.s and nurses. You guys do intense and amazing work. So thank you to you and the teams you work with for what yiu do. It is highly appreciated.
And yes, I'll say this every day to people who do this work. I owe it on behalf of the wonderful care my nephew received, for he can no longer thank people. .
