Man's intestines fall out of his body after coughing and sneezing during breakfast, requiring immediate emergency surgery to save his life.

 

A seemingly normal breakfast at a diner in Florida turned into a terrifying ordeal for a 63-year-old man and his wife. The man, who had recently undergone surgery, experienced a freak accident when a combination of coughing and sneezing caused his intestines to fall out of his body. According to the American Journal of Medical Case Reports, the man felt a wet sensation followed by a sharp pain in his abdomen. Upon lifting his shirt, he saw several inches of his bowel protruding from a recent surgical wound on his abdomen.1
