The plan is working.

I thought someone donated a kidney to men's health the magazine and it crashed the site somehow

Don't the organs get checked before they get moved over?!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

You can hardly dissect the thing before the operation. In this case it was a failure to screen the donor's blood.

In Trumps America?

Profit lol.

Jesus Christ, how do you even begin to find out that there are worms on your kidneys??

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 16 points 2 weeks ago

Donate them.

I have a kidney transplant. New fear unlocked.

Bonus trivia: They don't take out the old kidneys, they just keep on adding new ones. I have 4 kidneys right now.

Right now? Does that mean you're planning on getting me more in the future, how many do you have to get before you gain superpowers?

[–] RunicSword@beehaw.org 8 points 1 week ago

I will probably need another transplant in about 5 years. I'll let you know if I've gained any powers then!

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fuckin wild! What do you think the record is for most kidneys?

[–] RunicSword@beehaw.org 4 points 1 week ago

Someone on Reddit did an AMA and said he had 7 kidneys. I need to catch up!

There was also a guy who got a lung transplant, and then it turned out the new lungs had cancer.

[–] Tramort@programming.dev 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And the recent transplant recipient who ended up with rabies.

Nightmare fuel.

Why we need to use stem cells and just start growing our own replacement organs. It can be done and it be great. No worries about rejects, or shit like this.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh God. The worms went from the kidneys to the admomen and to the lugs. 🀒 This is my biggest fear

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

the man's abdominal rash was caused by the worms meandering through his skin.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck this I'm out

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They should have been tipped off by how his eyes glowed when they put the kidney in.

Goa'uld? You wish, this how you get The Strain.
