my coworker admitted a patient with a history of trichotillomania and diagnosed with trichobezoar

in non-medical terms:

Trichotillomania is hair loss from repeated urges to pull or twist the hair until it breaks off.

bezoar is a ball of swallowed foreign material (usually hair or fiber) that collects in the stomach and fails to pass through the intestines.

A HAIR BALL THAT NEEDED TO BE SURGICALLY REMOVED.

I can’t even.
