At least wear some gloves to cover your bandaid, huh?
 
these are the kind of surgery's you see when you shadow "Doctor Reggie"

make sure to get a LOR mexDoc!
 
Pretty nasty stuff....I got it from the Pre-dental forum ..lol
 
😱
Wear some gloves! What if the patient has HIV/AIDs..i wonder what the viral count would be in that pus...still, gross.

"brian, there's something wrong with you." haha
i'd love to do this, is there a surgery sub-specialty called "removal of gross fluids with a knife and an audience?"

Rural Texas ER physician
 
I watched an ER doc once do exactly that to some guy's leg. It was a severe infection from a spider bite. That was gross, but I don't remember it smelling bad.
 
Yeah, it's pretty gnarly but strangely satisfying.....

anyway... the guy definitely took it like a champ though, especially with all those girls freaking out near him. I don't know what I'd be thinking if I were him.

Imagine if OR nurses were like this? "EWWW what IS that?!?!"
 
Congrats, that is the grossest thing I've seen on SDN. Ever.
 
That really isn't that bad. Plus that video has been all over those web clip TV shows for 2 weeks now.

But, yes, she should have worn gloves and used a sterile needle (if that's what was used?).

Gloves. Agreed. Tons of pus.
 
that clip made me do 3 things:
1) gag
2)question whether i could do that as a doc (prob make the nurse do it)
3) laugh hysterically at the the girls "o yea like I'm gonna f***ing help you!"
 
btw wtf is that thing on his back? is it a cyst or just a bad infection or what?
 
Ok, just got the video to load. Looks like a sebaceous cyst to me. We removed one (much bigger than that) while I was shadowing.....yeah.....worst smell I have ever smelled. The doc thought it was funny not to tell me it would stink that bad. We were like spraying fabreeze in the room after the patient left.

yeah thats mrsa

screw the aids/hiv worry

hello mrsa outbreak XD
 
not supp to do that, leave it there, and when its ready u can squeeze it. but not supp to open it prematurely because it will cause scarring

yeah.
a doctor and former prof of my school was giving a presentation about mrsa and all those lovely strains of staph and mentioned this video....
so yeah..
i trust the guy

dont pop "pimples"!
 
I dont know man, to say staph alone, especially MRSA from a video is sketchy.
First, you couldn't look at 100 cases of staph and tell just by looking if it happened to be resistant or not. I mean, how do you know its not VRSA rather than MRSA? It looks like sebaceous cyst to me, even the keratin "cheese" coming out. but I'm no doctor.

Haha, seriously! She has a freakin bandaged finger!! I couldn't believe that, although we are talking about people who go around poking and squeezing their "bumps" on youtube.
 
wow,that was one hell of an infection. How many macrophages were sacrificed for the making of this video!😀
 
That can't be healthy! That's freakin' digusting and I just got done eating! I almost threw up! :wtf:
 
lmao. Hearing the gags and commitments in the background was hilarious. I would like to be specialize in "puss and ****" squeezing when I become a doc. That poor guy had to have been drunk to take the pain.

I don't think it was that painful. I've had a very huge pimple and it only hurt the initial pop. After that it was virtually painless.
 
I hope I won't have to do that 5hit if I become a dermatologist.

Well of course I can't tell it's MRSA just from the video. If I could, I know which field I'm going into. :laugh: It's just speculation from the fact that MRSA staph infections have a tendency to be a bit meaner.

Those things can be extremely painful before, during and after that process. Worse than tearing certain ligaments.
 
Glad to see I am not the only one completely fascinated with this stuff.

ID here I come.

The inflammation at that site is far beyond what a zit has. When marines would get these you would see them wince with pain during the examination before we shot them up with lidocaine. Without anesthetic that guy was hurting. But looking around the room it appears he may have had a little liquid courage 😉

Probably a few, but on the whole it's neutrophils that were sacrificed.



Does anyone else find it funny that they managed to get a scalpel but couldn't get some sterile 4x4s instead of a papertowel?
 
First off, yes it was pretty gross, but if you can't handle even looking at something like that then you might want to rethink your pre-med status.

-Yes, whoever was doing the "popping" should have worn gloves. Not smart.

-Along the same lines it did not look like they used any form of sterilization.

-My best guess is that was a cyst, and not MRSA, if it was MRSA, that guy is screwed. Either that or the biggest zit ever.:laugh:
 
LOL Yeah the comments in the background were by far the best part of the whole thing! ! ! That was great!

Not to be the nerd that over thought the whole thing, but....

No inflammation to speak of (redness, swelling, etc).
Did appear somewhat fluctuant, but the discharge didn't appear purulent rather more like the keratin mess that comes out of the cysts. If he had that kind of infection there would be some redness and swelling not to mention he would probably feel like crap. In my limited experience a cyst smells much worse than even serious bacterial infections. Although I spent my undergrad doing Pseudomonas research, so I may be immune to stank.

Seriously!
 
Oh man--reminds me of when I went through this. Had a floor burn from basketball get infected and then had to f/u with a doc 3x in a week to try and drain it all. My friends still ask me about my "pus volcanoes."
