IMO this is one of the rare cases that the primary source is worse than all the click bait: An Unusual Case of Bowel Evisceration after Sneezing

Though nearly all the click bait articles left out this pertinent fact: In this case report, we describe a spontaneous bowel evisceration through a cystectomy incision site occurring 15 days after surgical closure.
and here's where simple presentation fact is a gruesome as any hyperbole.
During breakfast, the man sneezed forcefully, followed by coughing. He immediately noticed a “wet” sensation and pain in his lower abdomen. Looking down, he observed several loops of pink bowel protruding from his recent surgical site. He later related that he was unsure of how to proceed, so he covered the exposed intestines with his shirt. He initially decided to drive himself to the hospital, but concerned that changing his position might injure his bowel, his wife requested an ambulance.
How bad ass do you have to be to:
a) Well, I guess I'll just cover that up with my shirt
b) Um, guess I'll drive my self to hospital
