Makes you wish they would finally come out with smell-o-vision. I remember hearing about some guy patenting the technology for it back in 2001 (called "iSmell"). Imagine how awesome that video would be with the smell of rotting flesh tingling your nostrils?

LOL I tried just describing the video to a co-worker over IM and he put me on ignore halfway through the description.

I was a surgical tech/assistant for several years. Saw lots of really good abscesses, including some that rocketed out like a geyser there was so much pressure behind the pus. This one was pretty good. I give it 7 out of 10 stars.

What you are all missing is the stench. The best are rectal or gangrenous abscesses, or heavily decomposed bodies/flesh. The stench sticks in your nostrils and nasal passages for hours.

And people ask why I didn't go into the medical profession.

Thanks, I just ate lunch, nearly lost it. I've seen this kind of stuff in animals before, but never a human. I can only imagine the smell. Major ICK!!!

ROTFLMAOPMP!!! I forgot I'd posted this OP 'til just now.

Had to read through all these posts & I swear when I got to yours, Juddog, I just about suffocated from laughter!!! My wife had to tell me to calm down cuz I could just see your whole scenario in my mind and your co-worker just looking and going....WTMost Helacious of all F's.....is this friggin' video??

I almost had to take a knee, gasping for air!!!

LOL


P.S. I don't know if anybody remembers, but there was this video somebody linked here a few years ago that was of a "POLINIDAL CYST" (sp?) It was FAR AND AWAY THE GROSSEST VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! IIRC it was on a guy's back and came out like cottage cheese and then even finished by using a spoon & scooping the sack out. (hurl factor 10)

On behalf of the rest of the ATOT community I wish to thank you for that delightfully sharp visual, nasal experience.

ewwww, but also :\

Doesn't seem disgusting. Mainly because it's rushing like water.
But damn, how does an abscess get like that?! If not for the color, almost doesn't seem like an infection. Also, surprised something could get that impressively infected without like... mobility or limb survival coming into question well before that.

Good god! I'm not so much grossed out as impressed! I kind of wonder what the volume of it ended up being.:hmm:

i had a huge abcess right next to my right tonsil. i went to the e.r. and the doctor numbed it and then lanced it with a small scalpel. i gagged and coughed blood and pus in his face. it was pretty horrible. the smell was pretty awful.
