NEW YORK- NOVEMBER 27: A doctor examines the x-rays of a tuberculosis (TB) patient at a TB clinic Novmeber 27, 2002 in Brooklyn, New York. Healthcare workers around the country oversee patients in a program called Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) that ensures carriers of the tuberculosis bacteria take their medication. Tuberculosis is a contagious disease of the lungs that is spread through the air and kills around 2 million people annually, mainly in third world countries. It is relatively easy and affordable to treat, with a six-month series of drugs costing around 10 dollars. While the number of TB cases in the United States has dropped in recent years, the disease is still particularly strong among the foreign-born, the homeless and impoverished contributing to the deaths of thousands of Americans yearly. As of 2000, over 16,000 Americans have contracted tuberculosis. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

The man had a history of chronic constipation and had been hospitalized numerous times for issues related to it over the past 4 years. He went in to see a doctor after suffering from abdominal pain and diarrhea. A CT scan showed he had a megarectum which is a condition that causes the bowels to dilate. The now enlarged bowel was filled with poo and started to split causing his internal organs to shut down. He had to be rushed into surgery!
