Appendix: An Organ with Main-Character Energy.
Meet the tiny organ evolution couldn’t quite delete.
Your appendix mostly minds its own business—until one day it sparks a full-blown abdominal crisis. In our new episode of Not Another Medical Podcast, James, Brodie, and Josh unpack:
➡️ How appendicitis actually starts and why the pain “moves”
➡️ Why 1 in 12 of us will get it
➡️ When to stop “waiting it out” and head to the ER 🚑
➡️ Whether antibiotics can ever replace surgery
➡️ And what the appendix might really be for: a leftover evolutionary glitch… or a microbiome bunker and immune outpost that stuck around for a reason.
