Adventures of the Self-Taught Surgeon

I love me a good TMI thread, but I have never read anything here that made me gasp and physically cringe away from the computer until I saw that. And yet I can’t stop reading!

Does digging out ingrowns count as self-taught surgery? Because two weeks after a bikini wax, I can spend an hour or two, easy, doing that every day.

When I read “ingrowns” I thought you meant “Ingrown Toenails”. There was quite a bit of confusion for a moment, but I’m ok now. Sorta.

Another time, I decided to remove this long raised mole on my lower back. I took a pair of nail scissors, stretched the mole, and snipped it off. As Og is my witness, I had no idea that a mole would bleed that much. By the time I realized that it was spurting, I had blood drops all over my carpet. It took me most of a role of toilet paper to get it to stop. I was so mad that I found the cut mole and roasted it with a cigarette lighter. There is nothing more appetizimg than smelling your own flesh medium rare.

You’re supposed to cauterize the WOUND, not the excised material!
