British-Nigerian influencer Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo, 43, died in Bangkok after a botched penile-enlargement injection. A UK coroner ruled the procedure caused a fatal pulmonary embolism from hyaluronic acid and lidocaine; CPR lasted over 100 minutes before his death at Sukhumvit Hospital. Ubiribo, who had about 185,000 Instagram followers and luxe properties in Los Angeles and London, was married in Zimbabwe in 2022 and was buried in London in a gold coffin. The postmortem report has not yet been released.

Medical Mishaps: Surgeons Mistakenly Remove Wrong Organs, Sparking Lawsuits

A man from Washington is suing a hospital and two doctors after they allegedly removed the wrong organ during surgery. George Piano went to the emergency room for stomach pains and was diagnosed with appendicitis. However, during the surgery, doctors were unable to locate his appendix and instead removed a part of his bowel. Two days later, it was discovered that his appendix was never removed, and he had to undergo another surgery. Piano experienced complications and suffered from abdominal pain, weight loss, anxiety, and short-term memory loss as a result. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and a jury trial.

Woman's Uterus Falls Out During Gas Passing Incident Resembling Penis.

A woman on TikTok shared her experience of her uterus falling out after breaking wind in the middle of the night. The 18-year-old claimed that when she was younger she woke up in the middle of the night after she “farted really loud” and found her “uterus hanging out” in her underwear. She explained that her intestinal issues led to a weakened pelvic floor which allowed her uterus to slip out of place and hang out of her vagina. According to the Mayo Clinic, it is most likely to happen to people after menopause who’ve had one or more vaginal births and usually doesn’t require treatment. Experts suggest kegel exercises or pelvic floor therapy to help strengthen the muscles in that area.
