33 Medical Oddities We Can’t Believe Are Real

The things the human body can do is incredible. They’re all made up of a strange combination of meaty bits, salt, water and sentient goo — and while a lot of people put a ton of time and money into figuring out how these flesh suits that our brains live in work, and how to properly fix them when they’re broken, there are still a lot of crazy scenarios we can’t account for. This results in bizarre medical conditions we previously believed shouldn't be possible, or horrifying situations that sounds like they were meant to scare us from ever leaving our house. 

While not all of the examples below are terrifying, we’re glad that it’s our job to collect the anecdotes about them into an easily digestible list for you to read as opposed to actually having to try and explain them to patients. We’ll leave that to the smart people who don’t describe bodies as a “flesh suit your brain lives in.”
