I'm not providing any commentary, aside from pointing out the terrible writing style (You don't need to say "The Baltimore Examiner reported" three times fuckers) because it speaks for itself. Enjoy.

Man Goes to Court After Butt Stapled Shut
Patient claims he couldn't defecate for 17 days

BALTIMORE - A West Virginia man is suing a Frederick County, Md., doctor for allegedly stapling his rectum shut during an operation, preventing the patient from defecating for 17 days, The Baltimore Examiner reported.

The mistake allegedly took place when Ronald Watkins, 64, had surgery for a rectal tumor, according to his lawsuit.

Dr. Manuel Casiano's lawyer said Watkins' bowels merely became "swollen shut," The Baltimore Examiner reported.

Since the surgery, Watkins experiences "rectal discharge" and must wipe 12 to 15 times a day, and he has had other procedures that otherwise would have been unnecessary, according to his attorneys.

The defense said Watkins' smoking two packs a day contributed to his bowel problems, The Baltimore Examiner reported.

"...preventing the patient from defecating for 17 days...".

Somehow this seems unlikely.

"You don't need to say "The Baltimore Examiner reported" three times fuckers"

Actually, you do Aerox. I'm studying journalism right now and you should always attribute each claim with a source, no matter how repetitive it sounds. Otherwise, your ass can get sued (whether or not it was stapled shut.

At the very least change the sentence up so that it's not the exact same every time.

True, in that sense, it was poorly written.

BTW, thanks for sharing this. I pooped a little after reading it.

Ledz is correct on that one. Proper attribution is a must unless it can be clearly inferred from the context. In this case, it makes sense to attribute it to the Examiner's reporting.

And I agree that the sentence was written very poorly.

I think smoking 2 packs a day could do something like that

I'm not sure who it was but one of my roommates pooped on the toilet seat sometime during the night. Not something you want to wake up to in the morning.

Not pooping for 17 days? Is that possible? I call bullshit. Also, smoking 2 packs a day can do that too? Never heard that before either. Thought you'd have lung problems before your asshole would swell shut.

So, if you don't shit for 17 days, does it start to back up and make it back to the stomach? It'd be South Park mouth pooping in about 20 days I'm sure

I remember when I went to summer camp in elementary school and none of the bathroom stalls had doors, so I just waited for an entire week until I got home before I took care of business. A week was brutal - I can't imagine 17 days.
