Florida Man Sneezes His Intestines Out Of His Body At Restaurant

I'm glad I read the article. I had a different picture of what happened. The true description was far less disturbing to me than what I envisioned. Though...:eek:

Wasn't quite the Mr Creosote scenario the headline hinted at!

A Florida man eating in a diner with his wife recently sneezed so forcefully it caused parts of his intestines to exit his body through a surgical wound, according to researchers.

The case, published in a May 2024 edition of the American Journal of Medical Case Reports, describes the unnamed man as a 63-year-old with a history of prostate cancer.

During treatments for a post-cancer recurrence, he encountered various health complications, and the man underwent a cystectomy, a procedure to remove his urinary bladder, 15 days before the diner incident, leaving him with a healing surgical wound on his abdomen.

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.

"During breakfast, the man sneezed forcefully, followed by coughing. He immediately noticed a ‘wet’ sensation and pain in his lower abdomen. Looking down, he observed several loops of pink bowel protruding from his recent surgical site," the researchers write.

"Three Urologic surgeons carefully reduced the eviscerated bowel back into the abdominal cavity,” the cast study continues. “They inspected the full length of the small bowel and noted no evidence of injury.”

Charming accompanying image, thanks Max.

I have a set pattern when I sneeze. Almost invariably it starts with 3 or 4 'primary' sneezes in rapid succession, usually at approx 5 second intervals. After that, you relax, thinking 'maybe that's the lot this time' - but it never is. After about half a minute, the 'secondary sneezes' start. I sneeze repeatedly at approx 30 second intervals. In total it usually ends up as a string of 7 or 8 secondary sneezes, after which I feel proper done in. I usually need to sit down for a bit.

Mercifully, I usually only have to go through that rigmarole (good word) once a day, often mid morning. When I worked in an office it was an embarrassing regular feature of the office routine ("Oh, Kam's off again. Regular as clockwork..." etc).

I've never forced anything out of my body while sneezing (oo-er) but they are often alarmingly violent and after a string of a dozen or so I sometimes feel like I might have done some kind of internal damage.

I usually have Saturday night sneezing fits for some reason.
I'm talking a minimum of 30.
I don't for the life of me know why Saturday evenings though.

"Saturday Night's Alright For Sneezing"

But THIRTY sneezes though? Wow. At least you get Sunday to recover.

I hate sneezing and taught myself to hold them in as much as I can. It is probably bad for me to do so but I hate them. Others comment on the weird noise and then I tell them it was a stifled sneeze.

A former colleague of mine made the strangest sneezing noise I've ever heard. It is really difficult to describe. It was a prolonged harsh rattling gurgling exhalation of breath through the nose lasting several seconds. It was a bit like the sound some coffee machines make.

We used to sit back to back a few feet apart, and I remember the first time she sneezed like that, I whirled around in my chair to see what on earth she was doing. I wasn't the only one staring at her either. She seemed oblivious to the startled looks on faces all around her. It turned out that it was just the way she sneezed. We all got used to it eventually.
 
I, apparently, sound like a cat being sick when I sneeze. Well, better that than my late Dad, who had a sneeze that could startle horses three fields away. I've never forgotten being in a cinema with him waiting for a film to start. Dad sneezed, an extraordinarily violet sneeze - and all you could hear was the sound of the fold up seats flapping, as EVERYONE jumped simultaneously.

It was a wee bit embarrassing.

I work with someone who does a 'cough-sneeze', which is pretty loud. That makes us all jump.
 
My own sneezes are at full stentorian intensity, possibly the loudest on the planet, but thankfully there are usually 3 in a row and that's it.
I make people jump.

Well this is just great. Now I have something new to worry about.

Florida man's colon EXPLODES after coughing and sneezing at the same time in a diner - causing his intestines to fall out of his body.

Now I know this is a thing, I can't believe my dog hasn't done this. Her sneezes register on the Richter scale. I have a son the same. People used to beg him not to sneeze during exams because it made everyone else jump.
