A typical appendicitis operation at a nursing home in Cuttack, Orissa, India.
- Check in to the hospital for the operation with one brain, one heart, two lungs, one stomach, two kidneys, one appendix etc.
- Successful operation a couple of days later.
- Convalescence period of one and a half weeks.
- Check out with one brain, one heart, two lungs, one stomach, one kidney, no appendix etc.
Wait! How many kidneys did you say?!
If I ever go for an operation I am going to insist on an inventory list of organs before and after!
