Oct. 17th, 2003 02:26 pmSo I'm reading about Roy Horn's condition after the tiger attack. And it mentions that they had to remove about 1/4 of his skull due to cranial pressure. And--here's what made me squeak out loud on the T--to keep the skull usable, they've made a pouch in his abdomen and tucked the skull fragment in there until they feel it's time to put it back on his head!
Am I just totally out of the frickin' loop here? How long have doctors been giving people pouches?!? How many patients have woken up from emergency surgery and discovered they had a new place to put their spare change??
