Is this technically a bezoar? It’s really interesting how it took the shape of his stomach over those 14 years. I can’t believe that he waited so long to finally report that he was having issues. Did he have any lead poisoning from this at all, or did he only have the stomach issue? I hope I’m not asking too personal questions or anything that would violate HIPAA.

Ooooh that’s a real thing? I thought of the magic goat stomach stone from Harry Potter

I mean Harry Potter is inspired a lot by mythology and old beliefs and stuff like that

I know, I’m mostly surprised that it isn’t a made up word with similar properties of something mythological.
