https://gizmodo.com/a-heart-failure-patient-actually-coughed-up-this-blood-1830925345 Once Wieselthaler and his team carefully unfurled the bundle and laid it out, they found that the architecture of the airways had been retained so perfectly that they were able to identify it as the right bronchial tree based solely on the number of branches and their alignment.
What were the chances?
it's super cool but all I can think of is the red weed from War of the Worlds which I always found a bit freaky.
Put it on a frame and mount it on a wall, he can sell it as fine art
That must have hurt and sounded horrendous coming up!
Said patient is dead, had chronic heart disease due to an infection.
It’s nauseatingly gross to know the context of its creation, but strikingly beautiful as a biological marvel.
I thought the title said broccoli so I clicked it because that sounded horrific but like a really neat coincidence. I was really confused why the picture was of a bronchial tube until I put two and two together and realised that it was actually more impressive than a broccoli shaped blood clot.
He's dead.
I'm actually grossed the fuck out and feel bad for the poor dude going through all the pain. Ditto.
Thanks for all the arrows on the main image, otherwise I wouldn't have known where to look!
literaly coughed his lung out? christ
I thought it was kinda silly at first, but it’s actually pointing to different segments belonging to different lobes.
Last time I got sick, I coughed up a blood clot that was part of the passage between my sinus, nostril, and esophagus. It was fucking nasty
Extra weird on my phone, the red pops out making it kinda 3D. Also, I'd imagine you'd feel so fucking good after coughing up something like that though.
What's up with the arrows?
Looks eerily similar to dried red algae: http://hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu/courses/algae/chondrus.jpg
pay you 20 bucks to take a bite out of it
THOSE MARTIANS ARE JUST DEMONS IN ANORHER FORM! I SHALL CAST THEM OUT WITH MY CROSS! in a seriousness though it's kinda cool and absolutely scary as a hell, if I coughed up something that resembled my lung passage just oh god no
That's some Bloodborne shit.
Bronchial Roots Blood clot resembling the right bronchial tree of a patient of blood ministration. Consume to temporarily hasten stamina regeneration. Such ejections were not uncommon of the early patients of the Healing Church; the heavy use of anticoagulants in Blood Healing near the heart caused clotting elsewhere.
was gonna mention it looks like a Chalice Dungeon ritual ingredient
Holy crap. Got nothing else to say about that...
all I can think about is how the bits that clotted in the narrower passages and alveoli didn't come out
I'm glad they had the arrows in the picture, I wouldn't have known what part of it was the blood clot if they didn't point it out
I'm either really impressed or vaguely ill, and i'm not sure which.
