The Ginger C(h)at LC Thread for Sundry Chatchitting

That’s fine. But it’s clearly is “recommended” by a reputable set of practice guidelines written by infectious disease specialists. But they are just guidelines and you may disagree with that recommendation. And you may even have a good reason for that disagreement and plenty of evidence for that reason. That doesn’t mean it isn’t recommended.

Not to be nitty or anything, but what you probably mean is “Routinely culturing abscessess is dumb”. Obviously there can be very good reasons to do that that everyone would agree on (not Prana’s case of course).

I’m befuddled at someone trying to well actually on me about something this hard, then I remembered the last time you tried this, and well, lol. Bye.

My offer still stands. If you require further education on the interpretation of clear medical literature I’m happy to provide it to you with a nominal donation to the charity of your choice.

Seriously I’ve had such a shit long day covering for sick people and this made me laugh out loud. Thanks bud

Did you see a doctor also or just the NP? I’m just curious. Doesn’t really have anything to do with the rest of the discussion.

No, the dermatologist who caused the infection with her biopsy (i’m half kidding) is out of town and there were no appointments there so I went to the walk in and apparently everyone there has Friday off also because there was no one t here but it took me 50 minutes to get in as a walk in. The NP saw that I had MRSA diagnosis this spring and gave me 10 days after looking at that.

I’m glad that I can pay it back. I got plenty of those moments from you as your ikes self, but I guess your current form is an improvement even if it is less unintentionally hilarious.

Was this lesion in the same area as the biopsy that got infected?

Nope. They punched my thigh and that took longer to heal than the vasculitis and then got infected so even longer than the initial vasculitis issues. And now the elbow lump.

So when you said “the doctor…offered to drain it”, who was “the doctor”?

The np.

Here’s the two biopsy punches they took. The big one is the one that got infected. The second is where the bleeding inside my skin started and the only remnants of it at all. Those spots are the only visible proof that it even happened. My arms and legs were like my previous photo though lol.

Gross

Did my having obstructive apnea more than once every two minutes possibly cause that? The IgA vasculitis. That’s more interesting to me than whatever the hell you two are arguing about lmao.

I thought that was likely it, but maybe it wasn’t. And if it wasn’t then I thought I might have missed something somewhere.

Also, what’s with the hemp paper sign?

sign? It’s my pack of papers.

I’m going to go with almost certainly not.

Lol me. I’m maximizing on a small screen here. My sense of proportion is way out of whack.

Mango Cart is a great summer beer btw.

I was actually offered one a while back and I declined.
