The Private Record — Episode 013 — "When Your Stomach Explodes"
Our guest today is a charming Australian fellow named Kirby. And boy oh boy does he have a medical nightmare of a story for you!
About 4 years ago, at the peak of the world’s initial Covid freak-out, Kirby’s stomach had a freak-out of its own… unthinkable, unbearable, impossible-to-imagine pain. Usually not one to worry, Kirby knew he had no choice but to rush to the hospital, which of course was being flooded with panicked (and dying) Covid patients. Basically, it was the absolute worst time in world history to go to the emergency room.
But it’s a good thing Kirby DID go to the emergency room. Thanks to an underlying condition Kirby didn’t even know he had, his large intestine had quite literally exploded, causing his body to go into septic shock, putting him on the precipice of death. 5 weeks, 3 surgeries, 1 bout with Covid, 1 (temporary) colostomy bag, and 1 gnarly scar later, Kirby would be able to say he had gone through complete and utter hell— and was extremely lucky to still be among the living.
This is his story!
