This will sound crazy, but I mean it in earnest. I'm working on a collection of short stories for my M.F.A. thesis. I need a title.
There are medical terms for just about everything, and I have heard about doctors having to remove things from people's asses. I would like to know the medical term for pulling things out of people's asses.
Because I think that word would be a cadidate for the title of my thesis.
If you know the word or can refer me to a source, I would be obliged.
I think the word is "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
or..."LetGoaMyAaaaaasssssssss!!!!!
I believe the term you are searching for is "rectumus vacatus" I have a friend who mops up in the emergency room, so you can trust me.
I thought of Extrusion, but it means the opposite of what you are looking for.
Osso, you are my new hero. I checked out "extrusion," and it can be used to describe the production of making something by squeezing "semisoft" material through a tube or nozzle. The metaphor just might work.
I like the sound of the word extrusion better than the sound of extraction - weird, I know.
Wow. Both disturbing and helpful. Sigmoidoscopy seems to be the operative word, pun intended.
Garg, I bet your professors love you.

Hey, thanks. They've been generous. The one who writes realism doesn't get me, but she shouldn't.
