YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"After surviving a near-fatal car accident, Kaitlin Hunter found herself battling a devastating bacterial infection in her colon that also threatened her life.

The persistent infection was beaten through a little-known technique involving the transplant of fecal matter from Hunter's mother, which put healthy bacteria back into her colon."*

Fecal matter transplants are surgical procedures that may actually be life-saving in some cases. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Jayar Jackson discuss the unusual medical procedure.
