I’ve heard people talk about mirrored organs, is that something that would be immediately obvious? Like surely every person that has the condition would know about it.
Every time I’ve seen it in a hospital TV show or whatever, it always seems to be a surprise…like they didn’t find out at birth but the first time they need some invasive procedures.
I knew someone once who had this, she didn’t know until she got an x-ray as an adult. The doctor called in their colleagues to take a look at the scan because he’d never seen a real-life case before. She had her heart on the right side of her chest, was pretty interesting.

I’d think so. You’d feel the urge to BM on the right rather than the left.
How would you know?
I mean if I put my hand over my left then right side of my chest, it’s pretty clear which side my heart is on
True, though isn’t the heart actually in the middle and it’s just asymmetric (with the big body-pumping side on the left)?
