    Yeah, all of this fits the fucking bill for a malpractice suit. If you were to pursue legal action, Munkus, you would win. You would absolutely fucking win.

    As much as I loath people that sue doctors and have their dog-man/attorney on speed dial, I think it is safe to say that removing a major organ from your body is grounds for a lawsuit, especially considering the fact that not being able to digest gluten is probably a bit more common that your large intestine being a Nazi fifth columnist poised to take you down from the inside.

    Yeah. Well, or not diagnose something that leads to people's butts being stolen.

    It's really just there for looks, as I understand.

    Quit being a fag about these things, Munkus.

    I'm just wondering how they could make this mistake if they did blood work and an endoscopy. It's not even like they're similar.

    I can definitely understand it if Munkus was diagnosed a long time ago, which I'm pretty sure he was.

    I was diagnosed 13 years ago and they really had no fucking idea what was going on.

    They were just like "Hm it's probably this chron thing, here's 3 bottles of different pills, just keep taking them and see if they make you feel better. If you do then stop taking one and if you feel worse we'll know that one isn't helping"

    There are tons of methods to check for coeliac disease. Even basic bloodwork would reveal folic acid levels and liver enzymes, and if they had even checked to see what would happen if he were to remove gluten from the diet and viewing the before and after pathology of coeliac disease would make it more than clear. The fact that such a permanent action was taken before even checking for such a condition is just incompetence.

    your large intestine being a Nazi fifth columnist poised to take you down from the inside.

    nazi councilist, actually
    (his colon had an alien symbiote melded with it)

    Really though, I don't think anybody has said it yet munkus, but you should sue. My mom was misdiagnosed with "getting fat" (I shit you not) when she had a cyst. Caused a load of problems until it was discovered. We didn't sue with the rationalization that, since the cyst eventually was removed and the problem solved, we wouldn't win. But a cyst isn't a colon and not removing something that should be removed is pretty different than removing something that shouldn't be.

    <- has celiac too

    its alright you get used to it after a few years =( But not dying of cancer later = thumbs up
    And also, beer is off limits (there are a few gluten free beers) BUT distilled alcohols are safe, as are wines.

    hey munkus

    you should pursue legal action

    I take it that everyone is saying this.

    It's still true.

    He is reluctant to sue, probably even to take the first step and speak with a lawyer or firm, because he doesn't like all of the bullshit lawsuits that people do just to get rich.

    Motherfucker they took out your motherfucking colon without checking to see if you had an easily identifiable disease first

    When you sue, you can add legal fees to the number, so you don't need to worry about that.

    Not usually. The reason you normally don't need to worry about legal fees is you can usually find a lawyer who'll take the case for a percentage of the money he gets from the doctor.

    I don't think having celiac is the worst thing, here.

    The worst thing is that no one tested for celiac, so instead they removed his fucking colon.

    Can't really say anything too much that hasn't been said. This is a really horrid situation all around.

    I'll toss my hat in the "legal action" corner. I'm completely against frivolous lawsuits but with this case it's pretty much your responsibility to keep such medical professionals in check so that such actions don't ever happen to anyone else, or are at least better regulated. The best course to make sure that happens is a legal suit, though that's been said ad-nauseum and we don't know really how you feel about such action yet. Just remember Munkus...

    YOU ARE THE LAW!
