Sawbones: Appendicitis

Sawbones: Appendicitis

By Justin McElroy, Dr. Sydnee McElroy

People have been dying of the inflammation of the appendix long before anyone even knew what this little finger-like organ was good for. Dr. Sydnee goes through the history of the first accidental appendix removal, to the long journey to figuring the true cause of abdominal distress. And most importantly: What's the one place where you MUST have your appendix removed before visiting?
