Should patients receive their gallstones?

[MsHB]

Should patients be given their gallstones, kidney stones, or other bits removed during surgery?

I think it is totally disgusting myself. I mean, who knows what the patient/relatives/friends will do with it? And why would they want it in the first place? But the doctors will insist on it beig done:uhoh3:

I was disappointed when I wasn't allowed to take my gallstones home... I had two of equal size that I was going to have made into cufflinks.

My surgeon let me take my first I.J. home... my mother let me hang it on the Christmas tree because it had saved my life after my kidney transplant rejected.
