    Why would a person have a rib removed?

    We know a person who did and we’d like an idea as of why……….

     Rib removal may be medically approved in several situations. If a rib is fractured in such a way that it might puncture a vital organ, it may be safer to remove it than wait for it to heal.[1] A cancerous rib may be removed to stop the cancer spreading.[1] Rib bone material may be used for a bone graft.[1] The excess pressure of thoracic outlet syndrome may be reduced by rib removal.[1] Major surgery to the thoracic cavity, such as open heart surgery, may require removal of ribs to allow access to the organ being operated on

    Yeah, I read that too. From the way the family is behaving it doesn't look good. Young girl, 26 or so.

    Jh, It is a fact !  Dolly Parton had a few ribs removed to make her waist even smaller !  It was like a scene out of Gone With the Wind, only worse . Ha Ha.

    How can you say "it's a fact", when Dolly herself, has denied the rumor?

    A friend of mine has an extra rib. She has been warned if she ever has to have cpr that it would probably kill her. Weird huh?

    To make a woman. Old story. Now they're removing our wallets!
