This has some great action to it. I find it interesting how excited they are about this and the poor guy has a really really bad infection.

Are the purple lines a result from the infection or are they just “cut here” lines for the MD?

What is that black thing? A clot? That’s insane!

my little brother had something like that on his shin after hitting himself with a ball peen hammer… wonder was this due to blunt force trauma as well?

This is an old one. It’s actually one of the first ones I saw here on my first visit (ah, nostalgia lol) The line is from them marking the area so they can tell if the infection spreads or not. We do it all the time in medicine, especially with cellulitis and insect bites

That packing’s gonna hurt like a [BLEEP]er[BLEEP]er when they take it out unless they heavily sedate the poor guy first!

/Just had flashback to when the packing was taken out of my nose after surgery when I was 17. Even with a generous helping of IM morphine in my ass, I damn near levitated out of the hospital bed when the doc started pulling…*shudder*

Thanks snap. You’re right on with the tracing. You a nurse?

Wow, I had to turn my head away. I am not up for so much hurt and that had to have hurt no matter what. Sedation is the key for the remaining treatments. Yipes that had to hurt. What caused the infection? Injury? Not a typical boil. Thanks for the posting. Good work.

Yeah MomE, it did look like more should have drained out before it was packed. Nice find HR

HAHAHA…..Listen closely at 1:39! It sounds like some one trying to get the last of the ketchup out of the bottle.
