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.
A 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.
