That was some capital Bull zit I smell Malpractice suit. I had one of these the doctor put their back into it and squeezed me like a ripe tomato it’s my understanding if the dont get it all out it will come back. I think he did a piss poor job with the packing too. I’m just saying.

Doctor sucked. You’re going to do it wrong, pretend to care about the patients pain, AND sound like the clear-eyes guy!???

You armchair specialists make me LOL. re-watch thevideo – it’s perfectly ok with adequate aseptic technique. Tight packing is used with skin eruptions so the soft expanded walls of the empty abcess/boil don’t collapse and reinfect until obdurated. Oh, and I counted the Doc use at least 8+ gauze pads.

Use your eyes PTZ MDs :-O

Ok that doctor is a quack! I had to do wet to dry packing of an open hole in my chest to drain out the rest of the infection and poison from having emergency surgery due to compacted gallstones and my gallbladder bursting. I had to pack it for 6 weeks and then it sealed itself. I was told by several doctors and nurses that checked in on me regularly that you never pack a wound tight because it causes damage to healing skin and serious pain and could cause part of the infection to stay inside of the body! I have never seen a doctor pack an open sore while it was draining like this, he’s supposed to get as much of the infection out as possible and then put the dampened with saline solution gauze into the wound and give the patient instructions and supplies so that they can do the packing and unpacking at home twice a day until all the infection is out and gone.

I really feel bad for the patient because I know how bad it hurts packing and unpacking an open wound because I had to do mine twice aday and that abscess is angry as zit looking. I really hope that he goes sees a different doctor!

I agree that the doctor didn’t seem to squeeze enough; does it seem that doctors often go light on the squeezing and expect medicated packing and oral antibiotics to do the heavy lifting?

Hmmmm. Did anyone get the feeling there might have been something sketchy about this doc? Like how he used no chux pads or sheets under the patient to catch the pus/blood; or how he tried to mop up all the pus using only one 4X4? This guy looked like he was much more worried about using his supplies than how he treated the patient.

As for the boil, the doc hacked an incision that you could drive a truck through. But then he barely squeezed the lesion. I was amazed when he started shoving the drain into the wound when there was still a ton of pus and infection still present. That doc looks lazy and cheap. Which nrings up other questions.

All things considered, on the average, “kitchen surgeries” on cysts seem to be done as well or better than by the docs. The docs may use better sterile technique, but the docs almost alwaysmake the incisions way too large. And most of the time the docs don’t squeeze (they’d call it “extrude”) nearly long enough. IMO, the at-homers keep on pushing until they can’t get anything out; while a doc gives a couple of nudges and shoves the cotton inside.
