Dude Performs Fecal Transplant On Himself!

Dude Performs Fecal Transplant On Himself!

Mr Hankey Fecal Transplant
Are you eating? You might want to skip ahead or put down the spoon for a second (especially if you’re eating soup).
So there’s this guy in Nova Scotia who caught C. difficile after a surgery and was having a hell of a time getting the hospital to treat it.
He then went ahead and gave himself a fecal transplant using his cousin’s… well… feces in an enema. Obviously he didn’t want his name released to the press.
The doctors were shocked for two reasons: He did it to himself, and IT WORKED.
Well, more so that it worked even though he did it to himself, because the proper procedure does have a 90% success rate!
We’re glad it all worked out — he saved his own life!
The more you know!
