What was priest sick of?


In episode 5 Sumner performs some surgery on the priest. I was wondering what was priest illness. All that yellow pus oozing looked like he was rotting or something.

reply

It was an abscess or ulceration of the cecum - - the beginning of the large intestine. This could indicate maybe diverticulitis, an inflammatory disease or maybe infection.

Oh, alright, thanks for the reply.
