A 50-year-old man from Pennsylvania was recently admitted into the Mercy Catholic Medical Center after vomiting unusual amounts of blood. According to the doctors, the patient accused severe abdominal pains of two months and admitting to drinking almost half a liter of vodka per day for the past 15 years.

Spokespersons for the Mercy Catholic Medical Center recently declared that a 50-year-old male vomiting blood was recently admitted to the emergency room. According to their statements, an endoscopy revealed that he had several stomach ulcers.

Surprised it doesn't seem to have affected his beta cells 😱
 
What a bummer. I've got a calcified pancreas, but I haven't had the fun of drinking half a pint of vodka a day. Not fair:(

My beta cells were knackered before I ever got calcified, so I don't really know the answer to your question. Any other Creonistas know?
 
No, you'd have needed to consume nearer a pint a day for the same effects, Mike!

I'm surprised he hasn't popped his clogs from cirrhosis really and saved them all the trouble of finding the calcification!

I was thinking just the same. 😱 He was actually having half a litre so not that far off a pint everyday. 😱
