Bursting cycts (TMI)

Yes. Yes he did.

Oh, and Eeeewwwwww! :eek:

Yep, I had the pleasure of a pilonidal cyst when I was in college. The doc said that because of the infection, the local pain killer for the surgery wouldn’t work; hence, the Keflex. After killing the infection in the cyst, he went to work. To say it was “lanced” isn’t quite accurate; he dug out all the offending material, which included puss & hair and he insisted on showing it to me—up close.

I’m sure mine would have gotten bigger, but its location made it painful to sit or lie down and it bled a lot.

Be glad the doc is giving it a chance to get the infection killed. A friend of my sister had it done while still infected—and, thus, without pain killer—and found it to be a rather traumatic experience.

Yes there is sound. It’s a large grub like maggot that borrowed it’s way into the young girls neck, probably laid by a flesh fly of some sort. Sounds like they are all very English based on accents.

For some reason the sound on that clip isn’t working but the sound on other movies is. Well it would probably gross me out anyway.

That looks like a clip from a documentary I saw on TV about half a year ago. It was a three-part deal about human parasites. One of the victims was this girl who had been on vacation with her parents and came back with a bump on her neck that started moving one day. The fly had laid an egg on the neck strap of her two-part swim suit and the maggot had crawled into her skin

Something like that, anyway. It was a kick-ass documentary. I don’t remember everything, but I think that particular episode also had a guy tell about a leech that popped out of his nostril one day, and of course the obligatory Guinea worm into, complete with extraction video. I was cringing for about 50% of the time and staring in wide-eyed rapture for the other 50%.

It’s a method used by those phony so-called “psychic surgeons” (which is what this guy must be to get in this film) to keep the camera from seeing the tricks. In this case, though, it was just an ordinary (if amateur) procedure and there was no trick.
