I didn't want to hijack the Shrimp Lady thread, but it reminded me of a story my friend told me. This supposedly happened to someone he knew, but I'm not sure if I buy it.

Long story short. His friend's wife has filed a medical malpractice suit because she recently gave birth to a bouncing baby boy by C-Section. Well, the story goes that when they sewed her back up, they put the plumbing back together all wrong. She starts noticing this disgusting odor after she urinates, and discovers that the water is brown. She is deficating out of her holiest of holies!

Could this even be possible that the doctor somehow hooked her rectum up wrong?

Oh this is believable.

<sarcasm>Yes, C-sections require that you not only cut open the uterus in the front, but also the large intestine, urethra, and vagina.<sarcasm>

Any knowledge of female anatomy would reveal this to be not even an urban legend. More like a prepubescent boys wild tale.
  • Assuming the reference to "her holiest of holies" is her vagina: women don't urinate out of it. The exit of their urethra is anterior to their vagina.
  • Feces wouldn't even begin to fit through a urethra.

Along the same lines, I heard this one 20 years ago:

A woman who had undergone a hysterectomy turned up pregnant and delivered a full-term child by C-section.

Diagnosis:

There was a fertilized egg in her body (at the time of the operation) that somehow "dropped out" and formed a placenta with the abdominal wall (or one of the intestines).

IIRC that is possible....although not probable at all.
