People’s Wild ER Stories That Give Us Newfound Appreciation for Doctors

This person’s brother-in-law has some truly wild stories from his time working as a surgical nurse. He worked the same job for 15 years, so he has an arsenal of hilarious, tragic, and jaw-dropping tales. His favorite one to tell is the time he surgically removed a huge chunk of cheese from someone’s intestines. 

We’re not talking just any chunk of cheese. The person in question has a whopping 18 ounces of cheese stuck in their gastrointestinal tract. That’s a whole 1.1 pounds. How in the world does that even happen? We don’t think the human throat is even capable of swallowing a chunk of cheese that size without choking. Maybe it was a cheesy build-up that grew over time.
