Yeah, something about . . . if it's a string in his intestines, or something long like that, it acts as a saw and can really tear him up. Then in the post opp, they run a high risk of bleeding out. I think she said a 30 percent death rate during post opp. But she said if it's just something small, like an eraser or plastic grape or something like that in his intestines, it wouldn't cause as much damage and wouldn't be as hard to remove during surgery.
