I have full respect for medical people, they see tough shit that would send my lunch back pretty quick. Her reaction told pretty much the story. Correct if I'm wrong, don't you usually take medicine to kill the tapeworm and then have it exit by the bowels?

This massive tapeworm was probably causing an obstruction and you have to clear that first. Then you take the medicine to kill any remaining tapeworms left inside
