A man was admitted to Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital Thursday after suffering severe abdominal pain caused by retaining flatulence for several hours while on a first date. The couple reportedly dined at Tacos El Asador, proceeding to a movie where the man allegedly ordered a large popcorn with nachos and melted cheese.
35-year-old Chuck McDougall managed to walk his date to her door and kiss her goodnight before calling an ambulance for himself. Friends of McDougall reported that he was “nervous about the encounter and wanted everything to be perfect”. His date, 32-year-old Connie Decampo remains unaware of the events following the kiss goodnight.
Doctors anticipate a swift recovery, predicting that McDougall will be fit for a second date by Tuesday. As a matter of public health, Mount Sinai has released an official statement advising against the suppression of flatulence, no matter the scenario.
