    RadioactiveCs [RCS] yeah. Enjoy those taxes if you ever actually get a job. A joke you wouldn’t understand in Europe, is the fact that everyone goes to college here, and many for completely useless degrees. Europe, is way way more picky of who goes to college. And FYI, we have extremely cheap college here and a ton of scholarships and grants for people that actually earned the right to go to college. The people you Europeans here about going into debt, are those that choose to leave the state, and or go to extremely expensive colleges. We have plenty of community colleges and in state tuition is extremely affordable. Going into college debt is a choice, and usually a stupid avoidable one.

    Calling gallstones "super painful" is an under statement! I lived with them for about 3 years. At least 3 years that I could feel. I spent many a night in the ER with that pain. Eventually, the ER people wouldn't let me leave. I had put off surgery the entire time because I couldn't afford it (thanks USA!) and now it was too close to infection for me to just live with it any longer. I got 3 tiny scars just like the video shows. I wanted to see the stones but the surgeon wouldn't let me 😕 I called them my alien babies and they'd finally gotten ready to hatch.

    My great grandfather lived on half a lung. He was a heavy smoker and his lungs had to pay it's price. He was living on just half a lung and his condition was so worse that the doctors gave up and said he'll live only upto a few months and they were right. He died a few months later. But even in his final days, he never quit smoking and smoked till death.

    I'm without my right ovary and appendix. Both of them were removed when I was 19. The ovary was polycystic, and was causing my appendix to act up as well, so both were removed. I was in considerable pain before my operation. Afterward, back to normal. Left ovary was (and still is) OK. I had my tonsils out too when I was an 8 year old. (Jan Griffiths).

    So, an interesting story from middle school revolving around organ donation: One of my teachers had both of his kidneys fail, don't remember why. It was pretty quickly spread across the school though since he was constantly attending appointments, and everyone in his family was having compatibility tested. But what ended up happening was interesting, in that one of our other teachers found out that he was a compatible donor. So over summer break one of our teachers donated a kidney to another one of our teachers, and several years later they're both going strong.

    You will learn that if you get to a more advanced class. Otherwise, there may just not be enough time. That's why I liked the math analysis class in high school. It was an elective class and they went through the derivation of all of these formulae that we learned before that, explaining how people were lead to coming up with them, among teaching us other things like matrices. It does make the whole thing more interesting.

    Jo King exactly. Schools make people memorize a whole bunch of stuff (some of which they won't even need for future studies) like mindless drones. It essentially makes school into a boring thing that they are obligated to do, instead of an opportunity to learn about the world. In the comments of science youtube channels like scishow, I often see people saying stuff like "I learn more here than I do in school". And I can relate to that. From schishow alone, I've learned so much. I can barely remember anything from school. I've even seen some comments from adults saying they watch science videos with their young kids, which is just awesome. School has never made me interested or passionate about something. Those things I came across on my own.

    There's this one boy who goes to my church, and his family owns a farm. One day, he fell out of their barn or something and ruptured his spleen. He had to get it removed, and it's been several years and he's doing completely fine. It's incredible how resilient our bodies can be!

    That's great, but he is now missing a large part of his immune and blood system support. Statistically speaking he will not live as long, but yes much longer than if he bled to death that day! He'll likely need every vaccine available, have to be careful with any animal bites, and later in life may need IV gamma globulin to prop up a weak immune system. Hopefully he enjoys life a long time before any further problems.

And since I only have the one kidney, I had to have an operation in April to remove them since if my only kidney was to get blocked by stones, I’d be boned. 😅

    Due to Crohn's disease, my colon was removed in 1988. Two years later, my gallbladder ruptured and had to be removed. Fast forward to 2012, I was struck by a car and my splenetic artery ruptured. Normally, this would call for the spleen getting pulled. My gastroenterologist really wanted me to keep my spleen, so they installed a stent in the artery instead. (Think angioplasty.) The joke with my family and friends is that I have voided the warranty on whatever organs I still have.

    Organ black market is easier if it’s another person. For example your roommate, if he’s sleeping and you are fast and clean worker you should be able to do it incognito. I suggest removing half of the liver, put half of what you’ve removed to grow in vitro and sell the other half (or eat it, it tastes great with ketchup/bbq sauce). And you also need his blood type for customer satisfaction. Just kidding don’t do that.

    Note the part about bile helping dissolve fats and the like, If they aren't fully digested these very soft and slippery product can get through your digestive system and affect the consistency of the output, making it much thinner. In short if you have you're gallbladder removed you will be tethered to the bathroom for a few months until your body compensates. And even then eating enough of the wrong foods can result in a short term need to be close to a bathroom ( a few hours to a day usually). Also gallstones are extremely panful. I've heard they compare to kidney stones and childbirth, though I haven't experienced the last two.
