If not for medicine/intervention, it would kill us... naturally selecting those bodies which repair themselves efficiently without going overboard like this.


I knew it was just stupid. Now someone please come over and drain my leg.

Probably discovered just how much of it there is in there.. it's not just fluid, I think - it looked like a clump under the skin with bits being broken off with the pressure applied.. so it's more viscous and cheese-like than they might have originally thought, when it was coupled with the blood and pus.

"the fact that as a nation we don't shout about it and call it racist or some other bullshit like that"

possibly because we've spent the last, ooh, 500 years or so defining the term "racist"

that would be ... the pus calling the maggot white ... or something

This article changed my life. Thank you, sir.

Debunking the Ewok Myth

While ewoks are often mawkishly portrayed on film as cute, curious little urchins that live in tree houses and coo adorably, the reality of wild ewoks is an entirely different story. I live near the redwood forests of Northern California, so I’ve been around ewoks all my life; every hike, picnic, or camping trip I’ve ever been on has been marred by their unwelcome presence.

Are ewoks cute? Not at all. That’s pure Hollywood magic. In fact, ewoks are some of the most disgusting wild animals in North America. The dandy little chaps you’ve seen on the silver screen are just midgets in ewok suits; real ewoks don’t have smooth, clean fur, and no sane human would be inclined to pet one. They’re so plagued by lice, fleas, dander and mange that their coats are spotted with huge bald patches and pocked with weeping sores. Touching one would likely net you a fistful of loose fur, matted with pus and crawling with ticks.

This is just one more reason I'm glad I'm not a doctor, nurse, physician's assistant, etc. Sure, they make good money, but they have to deal with gross shit like this. And think of all the other nasty things they see: hemorrhoids, infected wounds dripping pus, genital warts, yeast infections, and so on. And then they have to probe rectums, urethras, etc.
Still, I'm thankful that there are people who are willing to do this stuff. Let them have the nightmares.

...sounds like just another saturday night to me.

I would think that kind of buildup is from an ear infection. That looked pretty pus filled (I was going to say pussy(!?)) to me.

If you're going to be throwing away a bunch of pus covered lancets, shouldn't you have one of those red plastic biohazard sharps containers?


That's why you do it in the microbiology lab, duh.
