laxatives are usually not absorbed into the blood stream and thus does not cause the fetus to have diarrhoea.

I agreed with Cleanse, any suggestion on how to increase fiber content? more like which food?
So what was the last CT? cancer?

I’m not shocked you saw that in the pregnant woman. In fact, I would imagine it is becoming more common.

I think too many people (at least here in the USA) just don’t drink enough water these days. Everything is bottled now, so the water you do drink in the form of sodas, energy drinks, etc., are loaded with things that just make things worse. And the USA is leading the world in diets full of protein. We just don’t get enough fiber from vegetables.

Student Midwife, the baby did not die and the post is not about the mode of delivery. The reason for operating on her was because of her severe abdominal pain which was thought to be an acute abdomen.

4kg is about 9lb, I’ve delivered babies well over 10lb vaginally. They don’t die!

Bernard, ya lo should ask her!

Zara’s mama, well we have other staff to take shots for us. Anyway, all I did was to loosen those hard stones and gave her loads of laxatives and enemas to aid her passing them naturally. She did and was discharged a few days later.

Fuyohh.. the most bloated caecum I’ve ever seen.

Psst.. what her secret to such strong caecal walls?

the surgery was a blessing in disguise. I agree 4kg is huge and poor lady would have died delivering the child vaginally.

The last set of CT scans actually shows a hugely dilated caecum and dilated large and small bowels. The cause — hah – will blog about it tomorrow

huahhhh… interesting cases! Pity the patients though. I don’t know how to read nor understand the scans, or else I would be a doctor, wouldn’t I? hehehe….

I can cut up things very well.
