"They relayed an example of a person who had spent their last days vomiting fully-formed faeces."
Sounds like a fully-formed exaggeration. Vomiting once or twice a day is not spending your last days vomiting. More frequent vomiting? The supply could not possibly meet the demand. Especially if the patient stopped eating.
vomit is usually liquid or heavily digested stuff. feces is compacted and excreted. my imagination maybe a little specific here but so is the description "fully formed feces"
When there's no place for the compacted feces that's building up to go (due to a failure in peristalsis, for instance), it backs up into the the stomach, which naturally irritates the stomach and causes the person to vomit the contents, which includes their feces.
You are incorrect. You don’t have to be doing something 24 hrs a day to be spending your days doing it.
If you were a child who was raped every night by your father, you could absolutely say with honesty that you spent your nights getting raped.
What matters is - does the event significantly affect the rest of your day? Not - is the event happening non-stop. If that were the case, you could vomit every hour and still not be able to make the claim, since there are periods of rest.
