coagulum

It’s also a prelude to the rest of the movie’s sinister doings, which include a racist cabal of the Armitages and their mostly white friends and culminate in an elaborate medical procedure called “coagula.”

“This movie is a hybrid of genres itself, and the monstrous operation that the movie’s about, the coagula procedure, is in itself a hybridization. Michael was my guy, and I really never looked any further.”

“The coagula I easily removed and passed the little finger of my left hand through the perfectly smooth opening made by the ball, and found that it had entered the encephalon.”

A virulent form of fever is not unfrequently occasioned by retained coagula or placental d�bris which have undergone decomposition.

In chronic cases it may be necessary to lay open the cavity and remove the coagulum.
