Are we allowed to reference this thread elsewhere on the board?
Or is it a case of what happen sear stay sear?
Oooooh, it burns!!
Yog, if one person calls you a jackass, ignore him. If 20 people call you a jackass, buy a fucking saddle.
handy is part of the reason medical questions were moved to IMHO from GQ.
It was to limit the damage done by fucking morons like YogSothoth.
I wondered if anyone else made the connection with handy.
We now have the opportunity to educate a new generation in the art of Signal/Noise detection and correction.
Lucky us, huh gang?
Ask Edward II.
“I didn’t know I shouldn’t give medical advice” is a stupid position to defend. “I’m not the only one who skims a thread before posting” is a stupid argument to use.
Someone who uses both and doubles down on not having done anything worth derision is a stupid person.
I disagree. I think you should continue to spout nonsense because I find flameouts entertaining.
no, your posting history is what makes you sound like an arrogant know-it-all.
your problem is you don’t know what you don’t know, and you don’t know when you’re giving bad advice.
yep. Ignorance is simply the lack of knowledge. Stupidity (as we see in this thread) is doubling down on one’s ignorance.
“Hi everybody, last week I ran over my foot with my car and now it turned black. Should I worry? Please help thanks”
Nah, no good… they’ll never buy it. SOME will, of course. There’s always at least do-gooder who can’t resist. But I need a wider net.
“hello i have question yetsersday i was going to bathroom and something come out my vagina it was all bloody now theres something hanging from cord!? shold i see docter my bf sez no its fine what u think?”
Eh, too Grand Guignol, and the ‘helpless ignorant and possibly ambiguously foreign girl in distress’ shtick is played out. I need something simple. Back to basics.
“2 days ago, i backed up into my woodstove and burnt my back. The burn is almost a foot long. Weird thing is, it doesnt hurt at all. Does anyone know why?”
I like it. Terse, just barely plausible, a bit of missed punctuation, but nothing over the top. Now I just need a new guest account… something female. Yeah. I’ve got a really good feeling about this one!
This West Wing quote couldn’t be more appropriate.
“No. No ‘however’. Just be wrong. Just stand there in your wrongness and be wrong and get used to it.”
Well, I’m gratified to see that Yog managed to reference Donald Rumsfeld in a medical thread that was about something other than aspartame. Well done.*
*yeah, I know.
I’d like to suggest a compromise.
Yog, feel free to keep proudly spouting ignorance - since you obviously will anyway - but from now on, try to refrain from posting in threads where your bad advice can cause people to die from massive infections? Or maybe even try not posting medical advice in general?
A small concession, right? But it’d make a good start.
This thread gives new meaning to the phrase, “The stupid - it burns”.

Yes. And, yes.
I was just fooling around with some chainsaws, and one slipped and now my hand is only attached to my wrist by a tendon…there is some blood, but I don’t feel any pain.
Advice?
Duct tape.
Hey, as long as you don’t feel any pain, everything’s cool. Everyone knows pain is the universal, and only, way to tell if there’s something wrong with you. I don’t know any better, but as far as I know, I’m right, thus I am!
Don’t go towards the light!
