A member asked:
Is it really possible to suffer a ruptured appendix from a punch to the abdomen like harry houdini allegedly died from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anything is possible. But it is nearly impossible for it would take a devastatingly strong direct blow and the appendix is not that accessible.
