If you follow the link through to the original Reddit thread you can read the full post. She mentions waking the woman up from the anesthesia and transferring her to a recovery room, so we at least know the patient lived.

An OR nurse wouldn't have been involved in taking care of this patient after the surgery, and so wouldn't know unless she asked the surgeon about it later.

My sister was an ER nurse in an industrial area. Shit, that girl could make me dry heave in 5 seconds flat. She has lots of grody funny stories, like drunk guys shitting in the middle of the floor, but then really nightmare-inducing stories, like the pancaked man...

As someone who has induced sepsis in lab animals (and it sounds like this was a particularly bad case of sepsis), survival is possible. Quality of life? Questionable. Depends on which tissues were necrotic and how many/much of her organs they were able to save.

Yeah, I wondered about that too. The story kind of left out the part about whether the patient lived or died.

I've only met one, ONE surgeon who didn't think they were GOD. The one who didn't really was an angel. He treated me for a pilonidal abscess and did amazing aftercare.

I know - I want to know if she's okay! Man..

Oh, wow. That poor patient. I hope she was ok. That much infection and fecal matter and necrotic tissue? And, levity required, how much less did she weight going into recovery?

Oh my gosh, is everyone on this thread serious?

One of my friends and I periodically revive a thread that is just carefully constructed emoticon boobs, penises, etc.

Oh lord change it. Furthermore, change your security questions. Make them illogic like name of first pet is My Big Left Toe.

Oh my gosh, is everyone on this thread serious? I'm not having an affair or really doing anything wrong, but anyone getting access to my email would be the most embarrassing thing that could happen to me. My friends and I have incredibly open and crude conversations constantly. One of my friends and I periodically…

change it. change it. I know you say you have an iron-clad divorce, but I simply can't recommend it strongly enough. I worked in banking for 5 years and the shit people do to each other..... change it, lock him out and don't engage. what's he going to say? "why can't I look at your charges anymore?"

Just like the head of student financial aid did on me last night.

I see the interest rate on your loan is going down.

My first thought in response to this article: people have affairs via email?!

You caught me. We have a secret code, and "...if you fail to make payment by the next due date, your spring 2014 registration may be canceled and/or additional fees added to the balance due" really means "i'm so horny can i cum over tonight"

That's awful. In that case, I'd say change the username on the account as well as the password reset questions (with help from tech support if necessary since it's not always easy to do). As for facebook, that's so creepy - I had no idea you couldn't block someone if they blocked you first.

Stop fibbing. I know about you and the head of student financial aid.

I would definitely change security questions and not engage him, but since it's a credit card I would be worried. What if he uses your credit card number for online shopping or something? Maybe discuss with the credit card people? Get a new card issued?
