Get it out!!!!!!!!!!!!! Half way across the oggin with this in full flow, you'll tear out an emergency exit and jump out.

Single large gall stone acceptable for Class 1?

And

Gallstones?


From one of my sub-links:

This could present the crew with a grown man lying on the floor screaming with pain. All their training could lead them to think that it was a heart attack. It is conceivable, that with a large single stone, it would be possible to manipulate this out of the bag's exit port so to speak. The ensuing bucket-full (well, it looks like that much) of bile that the patient will part with, will bring the immediate crisis to an end. Again, a lot of luck, because a small stone can be pushed too far to be persuaded out. But if you could pull such a manoeuvre off, the patient would thank you forever, especially if as mentioned, you were hours from a possible touchdown.
