Repair the appendix? Um, what? You yank it out.
How terrible to not go into depth on the surgical procedure.
First of all, you "fix" the sepsis by controlling the infection with antibiotics
And if you'd bother to read TFA, you'd find out that antibiotics were not effective. It's kinda the entire point of TFA.
But that didn't identify the source of FECAL bacteria in the blood.
Are you under the illusion that shit doesn't leave a person's body through a regular outlet?
No, of course not. It's utterly impossible for fecal bacteria to get anywhere outside the body!!! That's why nobody is supposed to wash their hands after taking a shit!!
And did you know that there's a condition that MIMICS acute appendicitis 100%
You mean, causing pain, swelling, tenderness and fever? Symptoms she didn't have before taking antibiotics?
Btw,
or are you the type of religious scholar who makes up his mind on the most complex pile of cells in the universe based on a few hunches?
