Appendix Removal

WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT ACTUALLY TRY AND REMOVE YOUR FRIEND 'S APPENDIX, THIS IS MORE OF A JOKE. I PROMISE YOU, I 'M PROBABLY FORGETTING SOME IMPORTANT THINGS. With that being said, let’s begin. All of a sudden, your friend being his/her non-stop complaining of lower abdominal pain, chills, fever, and a little (which means a lot) vomiting. After a few minutes of hearing them wail and moan, you decide to do something about it. After some searching on WebMD.com and MayoClinic.org, you conclude that it has to be, without a reasonable doubt, appendicitis. Who needs a doctor when you have the 21st century? After more questionable searching on the dark web, and a little memorization of steps; you prepare your materials. These

There has to be enough space for them to be sprawled out and able to fully lie down. Then, locate the appendix, it should be about one to two inches to the left (from your perspective) of your belly button. Put a dot there with the sharpie, then mark a straight line off of that dot, make sure it’s a dash about six inches long. If you use logic, you’ll need the cut to be longer so that you can actually reach in and grab the appendix.So now, go grab your slowly dying friend, and lie them on the floor. You don’t want them on the bed, this is gonna get messy, like serial killer …show more content…
Take that liquor and have a shot, or several... you earned them, and depending on how squeamish you are you may need them. For these next steps you get to finally use some of those materials, grab the liquor or roofies, and the knife. Now that your friend is in the middle of the room and marked up, it’s time to get your hands dirty... almost. Feed them the roofies, I know this sounds horrible and extremely illegal, but it’s for the greater good of your friend. Once, they fall asleep, put the gloves on (safety first), shave them if necessary, and then clean the shaved region. Here’s the best part, the cut. Take the kitchen knife, or scalpel for my wanna be doctors, and follow the sharpie outline with it. (Here’s another important lesson: dealing with blood may cause contamination which may leave you susceptible to some serious diseases.) After that’s done, dig your hands in there and feel around for the appendix, it should feel like a slimy tail.. Maybe even a long lima bean, I don’t know, I’m not a real doctor. Okay, so if their appendix looks somewhat swollen or puffy (do you remember the rule to figure out if something is swollen? Press it lightly and see if it leaves a mark, if it does. It’s swollen), please continue… if not, take that sewing kit and stitch your friend back up. For those that choose to continue, grab some thread from that sewing kit. Tie it around the end of the appendix, make sure it’s tight and just

    I am so lucky that my parents didn't wait one more day to take me into the hospital, otherwise I might not be here today. Many people have survived from a ruptured appendix, but many have died from it too. Another thing is that many people all around us could have or had a ruptured appendix, but many people don't realize it. Most people that have a ruptured appendix are teens, but many people older and younger can have it. If the ruptured appendix is small you could fix it with antibiotics, but no matter what it is life threatening.…

    “Within the first 24 hours the pain shifts to the right lower quadrant of the abdomen” (Huether & McCrance, 2017). When assessing the patient, it is important to still conduct a head to toe assessment regardless of a medical diagnosis of appendicitis. Once the nurse gets to the abdomen, it is important to listen to bowel sounds and to palpate lightly in the four quadrants of the stomach, noting any temperature change, pain, discoloration, or masses of the stomach. During this time the patient could also rate the pain during palpation to indicate if the area of pain worsens with palpation.…
