      Fun fact: Mildly annoying fact: a surgery to remove a colon is called a colectomy. A surgery to remove part of a colon is called hemicolectomy. Come on!!! Semi- and hemi- are practically synonyms!

      And I can’t quite remember or find right now what they call what remains, but I distinctly remember that it’s not called a semicolon. Medicine is so dull.
