“Hospitalized for a hernia?”

You can die from a hernia. I went to my doctor for abdominal pain and was in the hospital under the knife that afternoon.

A strangulated hernia can kill you.

And it is a nasty way to go.

Depending on the type and size, they can wrap themselves around your intestines, and cause a blockage that can kill you.

There are hernias and there are hernias that make you want to die. I stepped off a curb with one and ended up in the fetal position before a ride in the ambulance.
