Holy Abscess! Not for the faint of heart

3 This is quite a large abscess, kind of gross too


My son saw this and asked if it was real? I said it looks real to me. What do you think?

Have any of you nurses seen an abscess this bad? Worse? Last edit by brian on Jan 15, '12
Aw gross Brian!All I was thinking is, hurry someone give them another container that one is way too full!

I warned you that it was gross. I was thinking the same thing, that tray was getting pretty full

I stopped at 25 seconds. I'd like to eat dinner later thanks. lol

Love it! I would've paid good money to be the one that was squishing it out with their hand!

Does it make me look bad that I had to share this with all my nurse friends???

Right now, here, at home, watching this, I want to barf.But I'm pretty sure that if I was at work and saw this, I would be like "Huh, they need another bucket, I'll go grab one." without a problem.

I actually gagged and coughed while watching that.Can you imagine the stench?Think they'll need to put in a penrose?

As an O.R. nurse for YEARS, I thought I had a pretty strong stomach...DISGUSTING!

Is it weird that I'm eating ice cream while watching this and it does't bother me??? lol

So what caused this? Any ideas or more info?

Man, how come I never see this stuff in person? That is so awesome!

Dude needs a wound vac or something... I wonder how he's doing.
