Listopia > Appendicitis, Appendectomy in Fiction

Did a character have their appendix removed? Or just treated with antibiotics for their appendicitis? Did it explode and cause peritonitis?

Doesn't have to be central to the story, but if it involves an obstructed, infected, inflamed, abcessed or removed appendix, please add it here. :)

EDIT: there was a list for Appendectomies in Juvenile Fiction from 2014 that I wasn't aware of at the time of starting this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...

Please also consider adding to this list, where possible! :)
