Ну, а ты вот хотел бы узнать вот что-нибудь новое про гепатит С? Какую-нибудь информацию?

Ну, а чё там нового узнавать? В принципе, всё известно. То, что гепатит С – это не простая болезнь. Может и печень выпасть откуда-нибудь.

Thanks. I think, instead of "crash", I could put "pack up", which is often said of organs. Do you think that's OK?

agree  Yuri Geifman: it's a common humorous way of talking about one's body - similar to sand sifting out of one's butt (old age) or one's navel being unscrewed leading to one's bum falling off

disagree  Dorene Cornwell: the average street druggie would not be expected to use propoer medical terms. Plus iwth hepatitis, the problem is more likely cirrhosis than prolapse

  -> "Prolapse" is a "medical" term, but is "Выпасть"?
