This week's vocab lesson

Bezoar. Be careful, you really don't want to know what this means. I learned it from my nursing friend, Heidi. It's sick, but it must be shared. Really, it is a human hairball. One of the docs knows someone who had on efrom eating socks, really, I can't make this crap up. Speaking of crap, that's how it came out. He pooped a sock.

Actually, it can be dangerous. You can create a blockage so large it can be seen on an x-ray. I mean, it can be like 3-5 inches in diameter and it has to be surgically removed! Can you even imagine.

So for all you hair eaters and sock-chewers out there -- STOP IT, RIGHT NOW!
