It is a wonderful thing, in that a couple hundred years ago almost all of this fellow’s ailments would result in him being dead. Instead, we live in an age of hum drum everyday miracles and wonders thanks to medical science.
Science, it’s magic that works!

I thought heartburn was bad, but compared to this, it’s a nice after dinner treat.

A 63-year-old man…
“Surgeons must carefully protect the bowel, reduce it into the abdomen, inspect it for injury, prevent infection” and re-close the wound.
2016 UK data:
All we need is a double-blind study where we pray for one person’s intestines and not pray for another’s without telling them that we’re going to pray for them. (I know, this is the hard part)
And to do this scientifically we’ll need to repeat the study, praying to various deities. Hoping we don’t upset the wrong one and cause our own intestines to leap from our body. Science is dangerous work!
