TIL the internal organs of actress Catherine O’Hara (Home Alone, Schitt’s Creek) are reversed, a rare condition known as situs inversus. It’s also the director’s explanation for the apparent x-ray faux pas in the TV show Scrubs’ intro, though the condition only appears in 0.0001% of the population

I never knew the name of this or how rare it actually is, but my great uncle has this condition. Always found it amazing that his organs are back to front and it doesn’t affect him in the slightest, just confuses doctors when he needs general check ups and treatment.

I read an autobiography of a Thai executioner. In Thailand, the condemned used to be shot to death by a single shooter with a bullet or bullets to the heart. Well this one lady had this condition; they found her semi-concious in the morgue and had to bring her back out for another go at it.
I work with someone whose probably afflicted with this; organ reversal. Most of the time he talks out of his ass
I think good ol’ Sam O’Nella talked about this once
Yeah, imma need a source on the scrubs part. Dr. Miller flips it in an intro claiming “that’s been bugging me” and Zach Braff has stated it was a fuck up by the props guy. The X-ray is backwards.
My grandma has this!
She was also only born with one kidney but didn’t know until her 60s.
My hands are like that.
My ex and her identical twin both have this condition. They are both unable to have children due to a complication from it that arose when they began menstruating.
