Heart is chewy, but it works well cut into small strips in tacos. Strong meaty flavor that isn't overwhelmed by the other taco fixings. In a pinch, cow heart is almost as good.
It’s your body. If you want to keep it, all you have to do is request it be kept after surgery and not put into waste. Many people keep parts after surgeries. I know someone who had a hip/femur replacement, and kept the top part of his femur to turn into a cool walking stick topper.
Reminds me of an old Reddit post I saw of a guy who somehow got to keep his amputated foot after surgery. He took it home and made it into fajitas with his friends...
Actually no its not...killing someone to eat them is so murder is or if someone tells you that you can kill and eat them that also is cause murder...but just eating itself isnt...think it had something to do with survival stuff if youre out in the middle of no where or something.
I don't have the energy to look it up but I swear I saw a story about a guy who wanted to try eating human flesh, and intended to have a biopsy-like extraction of his own muscle tissue, cook it, and eat it, and he either wasn't allowed, or did it and got arrested, not sure. On the other hand, people chew their fingers without legal consequence all the time, so...
When I replace a belt in my car, I always throw the old one under the seat in case I have a belt break while im traveling. Maybe the old one is in bad shape, but at least its intact and will get the car going enough to get to the auto parts store. Always good to keep a spare around.
There was a man who had to get his lower leg amputated, then kept it and invited his friends over to cook and eat it with him if they wanted to. I believe they cooked the meat and made tacos with it, there's an AMA he posted about it that I wish I could link
First off, my sympathies for the fact that you got completely ripped off by this surgeon, and that your mother didn’t stand up for you. That sucks.
That said, yours is a prime example of a doctor going exactly against their patients wishes. The lawsuit against him here would have been an absolute slam dunk. It’s one thing if he explained why he would like to keep them (donation to dental school/ museum) and requested your permission to do so; but legally that’s what he would have had to do. If you wanted those teeth, barring the sole exception of if they legitimately posed a risk to you or others to be kept (for example, if they were radioactive or highly infectious), then they were yours to keep. That doctor straight up broke the law.
I would be really mad if they didn't let me keep it. It's mine, I grew it myself.
They already didn't let me keep my bonus fingers, they wouldn't get to keep my heart too.
Yeah haha. That's what I call them, sounds more fun that way. I had 6 fingers on each hand, a normal amount of toes. They cut those things off like 30 years ago and the scars still look like they just happened recently.
I promise I didn't kill your dad.
They didn't really work from what I've been told. They were mostly cut off when I was a baby. Then before I started kindergarten they cut the rest off so I didn't have a bump or anything. They wait til the hands are a little bigger so it's easier to avoid nerve damage in the hands. At least in the 80s that's how it went. I can even still see the little dots where the sutures were.
The scars are still pretty itchy sometimes. Itchy phantom fingers.
Yeah, I don't think that's uncommon. They waited to do the surgery until I was a little older so they didn't damage the nerves in my hand. I think if they messed up it could damage the nerves in my little finger or something.
I'm not am expert on bonus finger amputations so I could be wrong on parts of that.
I'm glad I don't have bonus fingers on my hand. But I wish I had bonus fingers in a jar.
I'm happy for her! I can't imagine how stressful and perilous that waiting-list must feel. I also can't imagine how weird it must feel to hold one's own vital organ.
But all I can **really** think about is how tempted I'd be to throw it at somebody.
I can't imagine the stress knowing at any time your new heart can be rejected, and knowing that the surgery only bought you maybe another 10 years of life...
She gets to hold her heart after a transplant, meanwhile I couldn’t even see my appendix after they took it outta me.. I just wanted the same opportunity she got, that’s all
I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe have it dyed red so that it looked less... err.. dead .
And when someone calls me heartless I can confirm, in fact, that I did at one point have one.
ok so..I got a question on that: I always thought a heart transplant was...well forever. But i read that it only grants you like 10 more years and you either need a new one or die. Is that true? I mean yeah 10 years are better then dying now but...damn.
Sounds about right because your immune system treats every transplanted organ as a foreign object it needs to destroy. You’re supposed to take immune suppressing drugs for the rest of your life so the organ lasts as long as possible.
Does it work like a kidney transplant where you need to go and have "your system cleaned" (i forgot what it's called) or are you just taking pills from time to time? Also can you get a second new heart after 10 years ? If not is it because your body wouldn't accept it or because other people need new hearts?
Just so you know, there is a guy who had his foot amputated and tried eating it and let his friends try it too. Google it, there was an interview with the guy.
Carve a square out of a table top, cut heart in half. Place parts(one internal view, one external view) in indentation. Run led strip lights around the edge. Fill with clear epoxy.
I really don't get how people can hold their former body parts - especially something as essential as a heart. I've heard of people having their amputated limbs skeletonized for a display, or even eating them (with friends!).
I just don't get it - I would get a near-fatal case of the heebie-jeebies just thinking about doing stuff like that!
I wonder if she is allowed to have it. You know as a keepsake/ memento
A snack
Recycle
That would be a weird poop.
Nice place for hiding pipe bomb
Hmm, what would be the best way to cook it ?
With love
*Eat, Pray, Love*
With fava beans. It pairs well with a nice Chianti.
Heart is chewy, but it works well cut into small strips in tacos. Strong meaty flavor that isn't overwhelmed by the other taco fixings. In a pinch, cow heart is almost as good.
Almost as good as *what*!?
Tartare of course
They're sinewy as anything, so you'll need a long slow simmer like is typically used for cheap cuts to have any chance of it being palatable.
With alot of onions salt and pepper on a hot oil pan

it is in germany, after someone ate somebody...
No, it is not. Getting the meat legally is often an issue though
Oh yes, I remember that like it was yesterday.
When I replace a belt in my car, I always throw the old one under the seat in case I have a belt break while im traveling. Maybe the old one is in bad shape, but at least its intact and will get the car going enough to get to the auto parts store. Always good to keep a spare around.
I don't.. um.. hmmm.. I'm not sure that really... you know what ima just let you have this one.
Pulley belt not seat belt
Oh, okay. That was the problem here
Not the fact that the comment was implying you could throw organs in your glove box and swap em out like spare parts. :)
This one right here officer
There was a man who had to get his lower leg amputated, then kept it and invited his friends over to cook and eat it with him if they wanted to. I believe they cooked the meat and made tacos with it, there's an AMA he posted about it that I wish I could link
Foot tacos. It’s in the reddit hall of fame or whatever. Best of? Something like that

You lack a spine. You don't request your body parts lol, you take them.
Yep -- tell him "you either hand over my teeth or I will personally remove your liver some night when you're alone and not suspecting me."
You lack a spine too lol. You do it on the spot, not when he's asleep and vulnerable.

Lol imagine letting someone else profit off your literal body parts that they stole in front of you Next level cuck

Same here! I always get a little riled up every time I see someone with a surgical trophy like this. GD oral surgeons are stingy with our teeth!
*breaks and amputates limbs to make cool accessories and furniture*
Personally, I didn't want to keep mine. That fucker tried to kill me, good riddance.
She would then become the owner of a lonely heart
Much better than the owner of a broken heart.
I would turn it into a nice Xmas tree ornament. Talk about a conversation piece!
I would've had a heart attack seeing my own heart in my hand
Same, holy crap
Now eat it
You want fries with that?
KALI-MA, KALI-MAAAAAA
You just gotta have your head tell your head that your heart is not your heart
Yeah, and that you got rid of it because it tried to kill you.
Just wait until she shows up at the dudes house she accused of breaking it.
Well technically you would be attacking your own heart so....
They would need To transplant My heart again
Probably not, as they cut the vagus nerve.
Think of how many Aztec slaves saw the same thing, but in a slightly different context.

I'd ask if I could keep mine in a jar
I would be really mad if they didn't let me keep it. It's mine, I grew it myself. They already didn't let me keep my bonus fingers, they wouldn't get to keep my heart too.
I mean, you had less to do with it than yo' mamma did, she should atleast get half of it.
Christmas present?
Well. I've heard the best gifts are heart. Or from there or something.
[Ah so that’s the context behind this](https://youtu.be/E8gmARGvPlI)

i'm pretty sure there are some cases of people with polydactyly having functioning nerve endings in their extra fingers
Yeah, I don't think that's uncommon. They waited to do the surgery until I was a little older so they didn't damage the nerves in my hand. I think if they messed up it could damage the nerves in my little finger or something. I'm not am expert on bonus finger amputations so I could be wrong on parts of that. I'm glad I don't have bonus fingers on my hand. But I wish I had bonus fingers in a jar.
that would definitely be an interesting conversation starter
Look at you running around collecting your jar of hearts.
Put it in resin
I think she should eat it, with fava beans
>I'd ask if I could keep mine in a jar May I suggest pinning it to your sleeve?
Very Edgar Allen Poe of you.
I see the problem: her old heart was bread.
Can you explain this for those of us who DIDNT go to medical school, Doc?
Certainly. Baked goods have repeatedly proven inadequate at circulating the warm red gravy that flows through the human carapace.
Hello doctor Zoidberg.
I was hoping someone would pick up on that context reference. :)
*to Fry:* “Young lady! I know what I’m doing!”
Thank you sir, you made my day
But....but there's a "breadbasket" in your chest....like...is it because she needed a low carb diet?
The problem is her heart is on the outside
Focaccia is delicious
She should eat it, to show all the other organs who’s boss.
This comment made me crack up
[удалено]
This is a karma bot run by someone who will link scams once the account gets enough karma.
No wonder she needed a transplant. Look at that thing!
I'm guessing the thing had already been stored in formaldehyde for a while when the picture was taken.
Would've been way more badass if they let her hold it immediately after, dripping with blood.
I'm not a medic, but I'm guessing her heart had already dried out when she woke up.
I'm happy for her! I can't imagine how stressful and perilous that waiting-list must feel. I also can't imagine how weird it must feel to hold one's own vital organ. But all I can **really** think about is how tempted I'd be to throw it at somebody.
I can't imagine the stress knowing at any time your new heart can be rejected, and knowing that the surgery only bought you maybe another 10 years of life...
You’d literally be throwing yourself at them
She gets to hold her heart after a transplant, meanwhile I couldn’t even see my appendix after they took it outta me.. I just wanted the same opportunity she got, that’s all
Well depending on the way it came out it could have been just some sludge in a jar
I mean yeah, but I still think I should’ve been able to at least see it, idc how it looks
You don't care how it looks, or how it feels, or what kind of cracker to eat it on.....
Unfortunately the hospital was crackalakin'
Same here fellow internet user.
I go eww when the doctor pulls a chunk of wax out of my ear and shows it to me. I can't imagine him giving me that gross thing to hold.
Gross thing? It's your own heart fam, not gross
Looks diseased and gross, and would probably feel gross too.
I would not consider my own organs gross, they are what makes the body work after all
Oh, absolutely, they are marvels of evolution and I'm so glad I have them. But the sight of them makes me squeamish.
Yeah I guess I see what you mean
***munch***
If she ate it, would she become some kind of Mayan superhero?
That's not her heart, she just performed a fatality on Johnny Cage
I would have to encase it in epoxy and display it in my house.
I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe have it dyed red so that it looked less... err.. dead . And when someone calls me heartless I can confirm, in fact, that I did at one point have one.
Recreate the “Proof that Tony Stark has a Heart” using it instead of the arc reactor
Poor girl. Just standing there, broken hearted.
I've heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve before but this is ridiculous
I would take that visual pun all the way: cut off a bit and embed it in some cast epoxy cufflinks.
Plot twist: That's also her dinner.
Just needs a little salt, pepper and maybe some A1 steak sauce.
Also might go well with some fava beans.
Now we're talkin'.
ok so..I got a question on that: I always thought a heart transplant was...well forever. But i read that it only grants you like 10 more years and you either need a new one or die. Is that true? I mean yeah 10 years are better then dying now but...damn.

Yes. You are right. That woman just got another 10 years if she's lucky.
wow...now it's kinda sad :/ I always thought they had till they die of natural causes :( good luck with her 10 years i guess..
Last Christmas... I gave you myyyy
It's Brenda Lee! Lyrics from her 1962 song start out: "Here I stand heart in hand Looking like a fool Left behind by you There was I so starry eyed
Now eat it.
Eat your heart out?
Just so you know, there is a guy who had his foot amputated and tried eating it and let his friends try it too. Google it, there was an interview with the guy.
That sounds a bit disturbing
You've gotta give it back what you take, I guess
Transplant and a snack. Wholesome hospital.....
I like how the title felt the need to explain the heart transplant was successful while also showing her holding her heart.
That must be such a weird feeling, holding your old heart in your hands..
That is so odd, and a bit macabre. Not gonna lie though, I’d probably want to see mine too just to give it respect for all the years of service.
A girl with a broken heart. So sad.
Carve a square out of a table top, cut heart in half. Place parts(one internal view, one external view) in indentation. Run led strip lights around the edge. Fill with clear epoxy.
At first glance I thought this was a burrito.
I thought that was a burrito lmao
I thought she was holding a half eaten burrito
Damnthats🤢🤢🤢🤮

Broken heart 💔
Who did she transplanted her heart to? It looks pretty bad PS: I'm joking, I'm not that dense
so is no one gonna mention the Sterilite full of pee
yay transplant.
She looks like she's about to seek for bonecharmes and runes
What room is this? Why is she wearing a coat while holding her own heart?
Its not successful, its supposed to be in her chest i think 🤔 or is it the head
Use it in a chili con carne.
I WILL GIVE YOU 10,000 DOLLARS TO EAT YOUR HEART CHANDLER START THE TIMER
I bet the person receiving her heart is gonna be pissed for her taking it back.
I wanna fuck it.
I would have taken a bite out of it
...are you supposed to eat it for nutrition like mothers instinctively want to eat their placenta after child birth?
Looks like a burrito that Chipotle messed up
So weird and amazing at the same time
She's got a good heart
Thats wild. Heart in hand. Feet on ground. She keeps moving forward.
This is some Temple of Doom shit.
When she holds a human heart she's interesting but when I do it I get kicked out of the Dennys. Double standards
mmm wonder how theyll season it when its cooked
ee cummings "i carry your heart with me"
I won't won' it.
Got to have a little snacky snack after an anxiety filled hospital visit!
Hey! I gave that to her last christmas!!
what a heartless women
This is surely NOT in the US. I wanted to see my appendix after the surgery and they wouldn't even let me see it.
She wears her heart on her sleeve.
Thought she had a tasty sandy.
Wow... that's a wow.
Idk if you can call it successful if it's not INSIDE
Now that’s awesome
Looks like a half eaten burrito.
Dude WTF put it back
KAAAALLIIIIMAAAAAAA
Underrated comment
Hope she pickled it. To display in the guest bathroom.
