Mother Knows Death, starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria QK.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome to Mother Knows Death.

Today's episode is heavy on women's health,

It's a very interesting description, actually, because we have a post in the gross room

called Super Gross Absorbency about a case where a woman had had a tampon

stuck in her vagina for an extended period of time. I recall one time in surgical pathology,

we got a tampon out of an elderly woman's vagina that was up there for a very long time. And I recall it being one

of the worst smelling specimens that we ever got in surgical pathology. Now, when I did this

post in the grocery a few years ago called super gross absorbency about this particular case with a

tampon, there's like almost 80 comments underneath of this

post that say it's from medical professionals mostly, but even people that had the experience

personally. And a few people in those comments described it as smelling like a dead rat.
