What a handsome pt. halph! I disagree with the brilliant little medico, excising the cyst. It really wasn’t losing enough blood to be considered hemorrhagic. I think A sm. vessel was sliced, but hey, bleeding is cleansing! These guys were having a good time, and it’s so refreshing to hear good natured conversation about the procedure rather than lunatics squealing and cursing! Good one Halph.. It doesn’t seem like scrapping to me..

Excellent video HS ! As always we can count on you to send us the best!!!
It was great to watch someone capable remove the cyst, as well as not hear people freaking out about the proceedure.
10 STARS!

Cute! Him and the cyst. lol

What do these people think was gonna come out of it? Everyone acts so surprised in these videos when stuff starts shooting out. JEEZ!

That was a nice DIY. The explosion is always very satisfying. (sorry if that sounds nasty..hahahahaha!!!)
I appreciate your efforts Halph & this is a winner.

I love this video – they are cute and funny, not annoying. The guy’s buddy Francois is not a very good wingman – throwing out words like: blood clots, hemorraghic, etc. Kind of funny when non-medical people starting using medical terms like they think they know them. And I love the girl doing the cutting. Everything from it’s a big, bloody cyst to a big blackhead to “we don’t see this in Labor and Delivery.” Gotta love that. If there is less blood and mess in her Labor and Delivery room, I had my kids in the wrong place! All of these people I could watch over and over – love the money shot!

Medically speaking, the lapse in technique here lies in a failure to appreciate the lack of fluctuance in the lesion. In lay terms, this was not ripe enough for an i&d. The large amount of redness before the procedure announces that the lesion is still largely a cellulitis. You do not incise cellulitis. You let the immune system do its job, at the end of which you can slice and remove any remnant abscesses that don’t resolve. The tissue is still just too “hot” to finagle with. You also get a much more satisfying popper if the lesion does finally resolve as an abscess >5mm in diameter. Look at this pt., it’s not obvious that the lesion is big enough to call for i&d: conservative tx with warm soaks might work just as well. In other words, we might have a wee bit of surgical makpractice here. I just hope there was no bad outcome.

Cybersharque, very nice to see you back.. Why the long absence, or simply being quite?

Hugs cybersharque!!! Our beloved almost doctor!!! I learn so much from you! Glad you are back commenting!
These people look like they are in the health profession but I have learned over the years that it doesn’t mean much to say I am a health professional. I figuered they knew what they were doing! Just goes to show can’t always tell a book by its cover!
Our cybersharque is back! YAY!

Oops I meant to say Prof on that last comment… sorry

This one was a tad frustrating to watch. The excessive wiping bugs me. I want more squeeze – less wipe!
