Althouse: "Man goes to hospital with stomach ache, gets uterus removed."

August 3, 2011

"Man goes to hospital with stomach ache, gets uterus removed."

"Needless to say, he was 'stunned.' Especially since he's all man on the outside and had even fathered two children. He 'has no problems whatsoever with his sexuality,' according to Dr. Pramod Kumar Shrivastava, a surgeon at Chhindwara district hospital, who spoke to The Telegraph about the case."

Toad Trend said...: Y'know, I reeeeealllly hate when this happens.

One minute, having a beer with the boys, a quick trip to the head and bingo! Need to have those ovaries excised.

Very inconvenient.; 8/3/11, 7:20 PM
coketown said...: I bet the man in the article was all, like, "I'll let you do a story on me, but make sure you mention a) I'm all man and b) I have no problems with my sexuality."

I'm sure the editors of the New Yorker's "God blog" are tripping over themselves to write something about this.; 8/3/11, 7:24 PM

The Wisconsin State Journal reports that a former hippie identified only as Altlaw checked into a hospital with severe stomach pain, only to find out she had a full male reproductive system in (mostly in) her body.

The doctors initially diagnosed the 60-year-old law professor with a hernia. But when they performed exploratory surgery they found a penis, testicles, and a mustache.

Needless to say, she was "stunned." Especially since she's all (blonde) woman on the outside and had even mothered an unknown number of children. She "has no problems whatsoever with her sexuality," according to Dr. Pramod Kumar Shrivastava, a surgeon at the University of Wisconsin Medical Center, who spoke to the State Journal about the case.

Doctors performed a castration, nipped off the penis, and repaired the hernia. Altlaw is now recovering.

How could a woman come to have a prong and pair?

"It's an embryological accident at the time of embryonic formation," Shrivastava said.

During the operation, a person of indeterminate sex who called him/herself "Meade" danced hysterically outside the operating theater, shouting "She has my jewels! She has my jewels!" Meade was involuntarily held at the University of Wisconsin Mental Health Center for observation and identification.

Michael K said...: I had such a patient many years ago. He was a homeless guy sleeping on the beach at Santa Monica when the night sand sweeper ran over him. He had a tender abdomen so we explored it and fund a uterus tubes and ovaries. I have no idea if he had any male-type sexual activity.

There were a few jokes about how we were going to break the news to him.

It works the other way. A very well known and beautiful actress is genetically a male and had undescended testes removed as a small child. If not removed they have a high risk of cancer. Externally she was female.; 8/3/11, 7:53 PM

He went to the doctor and found out he was a cunt.; 8/3/11, 8:11 PM

Nearly everyone used to be told this as fact in medical school and undergrad genetics courses. It used to be Jamie Lee Curtis who was the victim of the rumor. Now we have snopes, so I guess it needs to be more vague.; 8/3/11, 8:16 PM
