Show Notes
Author: Aaron Lessen, M.D.
Educational Pearls:
- Anecdotal evidence suggests that roller coasters may help with kidney stones.
- A recent study used a model of a kidney and ureter with different sized stones and put it on Thunder Mountain roller coaster in Disney World.
- There was "dramatic passage" of the kidney stones at the rear of the roller coaster.
