Description
Vaughan dissected the patient's corpse - specifically the kidneys, as that had been the area of complaint - and found in the kidney something resembling a bird, with ichor and a membrane making up most of what should have been the kidney. There were a number of stones in the kidney, but nothing else unusual in the abdomen.
