Seen it... It is whatevs... Next time bring your A game.

where did you find this video of me?

Seen worse.

That must've felt so good to get that shit out.

What the hell causes those things, anyway? Anybody know?

Indeed! Getting all of those dead white blood cells out must have felt great!

Sure, it was vile to watch but pretty cool that he had friends willing to do that for him. Those girls were pretty damn, stand-up, cool given they were practically dry heaving at the outset and they perservered! I think he owes them a good dinner.

No idea what causes those damn things.

now imagine that with an eye.
and MRSA instead of any ol' staph.
and a toddler instead of an adult.


that is what i get to see at work!

I had one on my forearm once; the plan was to get me drunk and then they'd hold me down, pinch it with a pair of vise-grips and then cut it off with a knife.

Only the first part of the plan went off without a hitch, but when I get that drunk I sometimes get combative. At least, I used to. Now I can't even get that drunk.

if it is a boil, it is a staph infection of a hair follicle.

Impressive, most impressive. I hope they were liberal with the antiseptic though, that doesn't look like the most sterile of environments. It would suck if he got infected, after all.

Eye pus? Eye lancing? Un Chien Andalou as reimagined by Eli Roth? That's some powerful nightmare fuel.

something like that. but livelier colors, and a bit more sterile.


the monotonous day-to-day includes this:




the fun things are the abscessed MRSA infections masquerading as blastomas. it is funny, because there was relief when we found out the kid "just" had a rampant MRSA infection in his eye/orbit. the screwed up thing about being a cancer center...

worked in a Wound Care Center for 4 years. Amateurs.

Watched it while eating a custard. What's the problem?

A friends g/f recently had a spider bite that caused something similar.

Dead Alive. yes, a lovely scene. That was

But this was couldn't do it

Did it to myself in jr. high with a boil on my elbow. Not as big even if it felt like it.

Guh

Opposite. Couldn't look away.
Had an pus fountain from an ingrown toenail that got infected once. Not nearly the quantity of this though.

Seen this before, pretty gnarly but I bet it felt so good getting rid of that.
The chick not wearing gloves and having a little band-aid on her finger kinda grossed me out.

Tune in next week when Nancy loses a finger.

Meh, really not bad..... now if they could package smell with the video then it might be of note. The one I squeezed out of my mom was about the size of a tangello, an infection from her morphine pump site. The goo is nasty but the smell of rotting flesh is what made it special.....

I'm hungry now,
off to get some cottage cheese and crackers.

Yeah, the vid wasn't that bad. Kinda fascinating, actually.
That picture of whatever was going on in someone's eye, though... I can't look at that shit. All I saw was iodine and an eyebrow, and I'm glad I already knew the context, because eye trauma is just something I can't deal with looking at.

the picture is pretty benign, just a 30 gauge needle, so the hole is pretty much self-sealing, and an injection of pegaptanib which will then bind to protein signals and prevent growth of blood vessels... the betadine and speculum make it look less endearing, but the procedure is done with topical antistetics, and takes all of 15 seconds. there are legions of the 55+ crowd having these injections done every 4-6 weeks to prevent vision loss.

we use it (and similar drugs), investigationally, to inhibit blood vessel growth in tumors, and to (hopefully) prevent collateral damage in healthy tissue from brachytherapy and chemotherapy.

we get a lot of great cases, but i save them for my lectures, or to show off in person.

Without smell the video is harmless. The pus those larger cyst put out can be FOUL.
A few years back when I worked in the operating room we drained almost a full liter of fluid from a pilonidal cyst. You could smell it down the hall, and the smell lingered and clung to you, like smoke. I remember seeing my charge nurse, a tough as nails woman who had, in 20 years as an OR nurse in a major trauma center, probably seen more gross stuff than most people can imagine, leaning against the wall about to throw up... That was a horrible smell...

Thanks for the reminder to get more cream cheese!

For those of you who don't know what a pilonidal cyst is, it is an infection in a sinus which is located at the top of the gluteal cleft, also known as your ass crack. I know this because I've had the misfortune myself, twice. Very painful! Thankfully, mine drained on its own both times, and wasn't anything like a liter. And as I recall, it didn't have much of a smell. The first one I had was just before I got married. My wife was very helpful in expressing the cyst, and through this, I knew I had me a good gal.

I would've guessed 22 gauge by the looks of it, but that makes me feel a little better actually.

Thanks for reminding me that I have pudding I should eat soon...

I have a friend who had one of those cysts a long time ago. Seeing that video made me think of it, and now I know what it's called, so thanks!

Now that that is out of the way... A FUCKING LITER????? Good lord! Was the person overweight or somehow non-ambulatory? I can't think of any other way you could accumulate a liter of fluid right at your tailbone without *really* noticing it.
That had to have been a pain in the ass (meant literally) for a LONG time.

I just can't believe that a botfly larvae video has not shown up here yet...

OH HELL NO FUCK THIS WHOLE THREAD

That's some foul nasty shit!

Had an abscess under my left armpit...this hole was full of foul puss...the nurse made some odd noises when the surgeon first drained it (had to be cut out all the way eventually).

Shit, thats a bigass hole, Golgo.

And Bo, no. Just no.
