  • @bmedinago McBurney's point is one third of the way from the ASIS to the umbilicus. Not halfway between the two as stated in the video.

  • I remember 2 1/2 years ago my appendix burst and i even felt it as it errupted. i just thought i had a REALLY bad fever, the pain was extreme. i was crawling on the floor after the 4th day thats when i finally went to the hospital and had my surgery. after i woke up i had no idea what happened and i was exhausted, i woke up 5 hours later cause the pain killer wore off. i screamed off the top of my lungs the pain was too extreme. Thank god i wont expirence that anymore

  • I had appendicitis last Wednesday and had it removed by having a Laparscopic Appendectomy. It hurt like a bitch before and after and it still does. But i can thank My Army Doctors for giving me percocets. Man I love being in the army Free Medical, free prescriptions and free dental. If i wasn't in the army i would not have had it checked out. costs to much.

  • @badassmexicandude it blew up on me so yeah

  • Enthusiasm.

  • i just got mine removed a few days ago. fortunately, it was removed before it blew up inside me! it was extremely painful just being swollen so i couldn't even imagine the pain if it blew up internally!!

  • i had mine removed, it "popped"and i didnt notice for a whole day, the next day i had it removed and spent 8 weeks in hospital due to 2 large sacs of fluid due to the gang green...not fun :P

  • when i used to watch Madeline i soo wanted my appendix out...now from watching these videos of what they do in there... i changed my mind!!!
