obstipation- an MD term for the turd that won't come out with just a laxative or enema- have to go in after it to unclog and then flush out with lactulose or GoLytely.

My favorite is FOS, which can often be seen on Xray accompanied by an MIF (Massive internal fart) )

OK lil one, while we are at it....there was a 35 yo female that swore up and down she had a kidney stone. Plain film showed she was indeed FOS with a huge dilated colon. She insisted she was not FOS. She insisted on an IVP or CT to r/o renal calculi. So we did a CT, and the radiologist reading was no "No calculi seen. Bowel dilitated at and around the sigmoid, findings consistent with constipation".

LMAO!!!

We see lotsa that in LTC but I was told NEVER EVER EVER

call "it" an "impaction."

Why? I asked.

Apparently the word "impaction" is a Big Red Flag to the State.

So we call it "digital removal of fecal matter."
