Stupid & Funny News: Scottish Gran treated with poo

Well, I’ve heard of hospitals using maggots for treatments and even leeches, but never poo… but it’s happened.

In a Fife hospital, an elderly patient contracted the potentially fatal superbug Clostridium Difficile so her medical team decided that a ‘fecal transplant’ was needed. I know… wait, it gets worse….

Her daughter Winifred sent some of her own poo to the hospital where staff then liquified it and fed it to her 83 year old Ethel McEwan by way of a stomach tube.

Apparently the treatment restores the bacteria in the patient’s gut “to levels at which they help the recovery process”.

Granny Ethel later told press, ”People will have a blood transplant or a kidney transplant. What’s the difference with this?”

Erm, Ethel? It’s shi*; you had to eat shi*… that’s the difference!
