ugh! i was working for a temp agency last year and got sent to a seedy nursing home to pick up late night shifts. this one sweet little old man called me into his room and told me that his back was itching really bad and he couldn't reach it. i rolled him over and yep, bedsore full of maggots. i nearly threw up.

so how 'bout that donut now, floop?

Happened while he was travelling through Africa - quite common actually, called a poetse (sp?) fly - the fly lays it's eggs in your clothes which then hatch and the larvae burrow into your skin where they feed off you till they full grown. The only way to get rid of them is to cut them out. Thankfully he only had one. The scar still itches though.

This is becoming weird, kathryn. Do you fantasize about McDave having embarrasing and disgusting diseases?

I spose being a nurse you see a ton of gross things.
One of my friends is a nurse and she has really gross stories about people having things stuck in certain orifices. Once she told me about a lady who shoplifted a can of Aquanet hairspray...


Hey Kay, if a plantars wart isn't a wart, what is it?

This reminds me of the episode with the toy car in the Jackass movie... Probably the best sketch they've ever done in that show. "I'm not too excited about this skit, it's not my favorite I've ever done, because there's a toy car in my butt. But this is the "Butt X-Ray"."

I know someone who had to remove an apple from a patient's rectum.

Tennis, leave McDave out of this. He is pure.

Um, Carolyn, the plantar wart thing is (can I get some medical
help here, Dayanara?), I dunno, like a virus or something?
And you get these bumps at the bottom of your feet, your soles,
and they are removed by lazer.

i dont like to name any medical condition embarassing.. but i have a friend whose mommy works as a nurse in urgencies and has had to recover cell phones from where no girl hears or likes to hear of...

I read some time ago that richard gere had a similar problem with a mouse..
seems that after michael jackson and george michael next one in his phonebook was mickey mouse

Oh, Richard Gere and the gerbil is such an old urban legend.

But this cell phone thing sounds compelling. Are you saying people
are accidentally or on purpose jamming those things in their vaginas or
what? Jeez, I feel dirty just asking...

I think it's the "switching to vibrate feature" that could be causing some confusion.

I was cicumcised at the age of six. I remember every painful minute outside of the actual surgery. I woke up on the table. My mom gave me one of those seventies Mc Donalds Hamburglar dolls to console me. It didn't help.

Were either of these medical necessities?

Another way to deal with Tsetse or Botfly larvae (field surgery style): Get a cigarette or cigar and a set of tweezers. Light the smoke, and sharply exhale onto the heel of your hand. Repeat until a visible film of tar appears. Mix the tar with a little saliva, then paste it over the center of the maggot-bump. As these larvae require some air, they will have a tiny hole in the skin that they breathe through - when you fill it with poisonous tar, they try to stretch a little for air, then you grab the little bastard with the tweezers. PULL SLOWLY. The last thing you want is half a dead maggot embedded in your skin.

I am not a doctor - perform procedure purely at your own risk - I take no responsibility for your actions or the actions of others based on any imformation provided.

My own embarrassing medical condition is related to virulent bronchitis - the sulfonomide family of antibiotics wipes out the majority of flora in the intestinal tract, and being sulfur based, creates a lot of extremely rank gas. Elevators are fun to leave little presents in.

2.
My brother had a habit of crawling into bed with me at night. Because of this they had to strap him down with a harness. At three in the mornig he's trying to stand up and raging like a tiny Hulk in the middle of his hospital crip. It was scary

Another approach for dealing with bot flies was displayed by one of our crazier biologists at the university. He walked around for several days with a thick piece of bacon wrapped around his head. The idea was that the maggot was going to move from one piece of meat (him) to another piece of meat. I don't know if it worked.

I saw a photo somewhere where the botfly, instead of emerging, tunneled into the persons brain.

mine was, apparently it boils down to my knob being too large for the opening of the foreskin, so the foreskin would get stuck and cause me pain, funny how i never remember that pain though.

KOK, I have some serious issues with your mom. I am just sitting
here shaking my head, man.

Speaking of parasites...anyone ever have chiggers?



I got them during a week in rural Missouri. Definitely one of the itchiest experiences of my life. Fortunately they stayed below my knees.

One the guys I work with has just been diagnosed with chiggers - itchy as hell feet.

Another way I've seen used to get rid of parasitic worms (can't remember which kind, but picked up in Zimbabwe) was to cover the area with vaseline, suffocating the worm - the worm would then crawl out of your skin (can't remember if you had to cut a hole for this) and you just sit and wait for this lovely moment to happen.

Why would circumcision be outlawed in Europe? Excision is illegal but not circumcision.
