Whenever I brought up the topic of bowel recycling at other hospitals, nurses were skeptical. Today fecal transplants are in vogue. Maybe the pejorative connotation of bile drinking is the wrong way to reference the procedure. Bile transplant sounds better but, according to patients, the stuff tastes harshly bitter and has the consistency of viscous mucous; tough to put a good spin on that!Oldfoolrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747485143127099085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723755846699098373.post-55146648913737866732018-10-16T15:09:29.135-07:002018-10-16T15:09:29.135-07:00Dis.

Nurses at other hospitals thought I was just plain nuts when describing this unsavory practice. This really happened and when I googled bile as an oral consumable a British journal article popped up. They suggested mixing the bile with a flavored beverage to mask the foul taste, but that reminded me of putting perfume on a pig. Bile was just plain nasty.<br /><br />Gall bladder patients had a very difficult post op period. The only thing worse than quaffing down bilious drainage was removing retention sutures that were anchored deep in the abdominal wall. Whenever screams were heard on the surgical wards it was probably from the removal of retention sutures. I should do a post on the subject after my stomach stops doing flip-flops from the bile nightmare.Oldfoolrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747485143127099085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723755846699098373.post-8417211983580822602018-10-10T07:10:49.558-07:002018-10-10T07:10:49.558-07:00Bleah...
