question: I just heard from a friend that she has been told that she has a rare disorder. Allegedly her gallbladder is located in her leg. I have never heard of this before and am trying to find out more information. Apparently it affects a very few people in the world. Dr. Sidney Effer (not sure of the spelling) apparently has a book about it. How can the gallbladder be functional in that location? I spent 4 yrs as a paramedic and have never heard of this
