Yu tink se i pɔsibul fɔ liv we yu nɔ gɛt splin?

Pan ɔl we di splin de du bɔku impɔtant wok dɛn fɔ di bɔdi, i pɔsibul fɔ liv if i nɔ gɛt am. Dɔktɔ dɛn kin kɔl dis sik `asplenia` , ɔr liv witout spleen.

Na smɔl tɛm nɔmɔ dɛn kin bɔn sɔm pipul dɛn we nɔ gɛt splin. Sɔntɛnde, we di splin dɔn pwɛl bad bad wan ɔ we sik (lɛk sɔm blɔd kansa ɔ splin we dɔn brok) kam, dɔktɔ dɛn go ɔpreshɔn fɔ pul di splin. Dɛn kɔl dis ɔpreshɔn splenectomy . We di splin nɔ de igen, di liva kin tek bɔku pan di wok dɛn we di splin de du, mɔ fɔ pul di ol blɔd sɛl dɛn. di bon mכro εn di limf no dεm de tek ova sכm pan di wok dεm bak.
