If I had known what this short story was really about, I would not have purchased it.  Having said that, it was exceptionally well-written, hit the highlights on his 'ordeal', but not nearly lengthy enough to tell the seriousness of the subject.  I did not laugh one time, as it brought back unsettling memories of my husband's condition with the 'bag' and subsequent death.  I have also heard the horrendous ordeal of a friend's friend who also nearly died after the very same circumstances this author faced with several follow-up surgeries.  And even more frightening, I recently had a first colonoscopy attempt, only to find out I have a twist and redundant colon as author describes.  After reading this story, I definitely will be getting a second opinion on any surgical option if it is suggested, and while my funds are limited with Medicare, I certainly hope I have a better surgeon than Dr. Wu.
