"Barfing is much worse than diarrhea, though I think the caveat depends on the exit velocity."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

And doing both at the same time is exponentially worse.
I'd agree that barfing is worse, but the exception is when you can't make it to the toilet in time.
yes. it's not like my asshole has anything better to do, and it's accustomed to hovering over the toilet bowl. my poor throat, mouth and nose, on the other hand...
Love this blog for the deep philosophical discussions that take place.
Was it not Plato who originally posited the original theory. Maximus Barfus, Minimus Shites
PS. As one who was ill most of 2015 with Ulcerative Colitis (the disease that you do wish on your worst enemy) I can tell you that there is diarrhea and then there is DIARHEA, The latter being the 20 to 30 movements take me now Lord kind. I am not afraid of a little barfing, but I got to tell you the memories set me to sweating and trembling.
It also depends on what sexual position you happen to be in at the time.
So what is the average air speed velocity of a fully-laden reverse swallow?
would love to know the story that led to this conclusion!
this would make an interesting research project, wouldn't it....
Ah, the joy of having a scientist for a pt.
that is, unless the dreaded Venturi Effect has occurred...
This could be the makings of a new Japanese game show.
Put me down on team diarrhea.
Well said by the patient
What I hate most are those situations where you diagnose barfing, but all the gastroenterologists you refer your patient to keep insisting that it's diarrhea.
"Specifically, when [v(diarrhea) - v(barf)] = 13.4 m/s, the badnesses are exactly equal at standard sphincter tightness and stomach pH, although you have to add an extra 0.3 m/s to this for every gram of barf that's expelled through the nostrils, and subtract 0.5 m/s for every 100 microns of rectal dermis that's been previously abraded by toilet paper."
"I can tell you that there is diarrhea and then there is DIARHEA, The latter being the 20 to 30 movements take me now Lord kind." Packer
I SO agree! I spent a couple years throwing up a lot & another couple years with diarrhea. The barfing didn't clear the bathroom at work as quickly as the diarrhea.
Oh it's so true... and I still don't know why. I'd rather clean up c. diff diarrhea than vomit.
Well said!!!
Speaking of frozen chicken pot pie...
Or, worse yet, the entry velocity.
I want that on a tee shirt!
Barfing is definitely worse. Because unless something is going very, very wrong... you don't get bits of diarrhea stuck up your nose.
