He put a WARNING in the thread title guys.

Now... is that real, for real??
You can youtube krokodil and some nasty things come up so I wouldn't doubt it. Personally I think they should introduce this drug to the idiot heroin addicts in America and let this drug wipe them all out.

It's not real. The ulna (the bone of the forearm that connects with the humerus/upper arm) doesn't look like that. The proximal end (that connects to the upper arm) does not flare out like it does in the picture. In fact, that looks like someone took a defleshed lower leg and shopped it onto the arm, because that looks like a tibia.

Wait, you can buy codeine OTC in Russia?

You can buy it OTC in Canada too, iirc.

That picture isn't as bad as I was expected. Looks fake to me, but I'm not willing to bet one way or another.

Also, someone mentioned how calm she looks for having her arm like that -- being high on opiates will do that to you :p

Aaaah, thanks. I think I'll go with that.

Hmmm? If you want pictures of flesh rotting off of skeletons, let me know. How about a boiling head in a pot? All in a day's work. ;)

Edit: I am not serious. I can't post such content online. :p

That particular pic may be doctored, but I highly doubt this is: *******INCREDIBLY NSFW******* http://morrisonworldnews.com/?p=51494

There's another video out there that's even more disturbing.

Plus if it's a festering wound there wouldn't be all that pink 'healthy' tissue on the edge of the wound unless there's been a wound debridement. Even then a would that bad wouldn't even had time for a picture, right to the O.R. for an amputation.

Sure it does. I have my doubts about the reality of the picture, but I suppose it could be an ulna. That would be a pretty tiny tibia.

Meh whatever, but if her friends and family are putting up with a stupid bitch like that they are dumber than she is. Also, if society is putting up with this by paying for medical treatments they to are stupid.

Nah, the ulna flares a bit proximally, but nowhere near that much. I'm not at the lab so I can't snap a few more appropriate shots, this will have to suffice:

The tibia gets pretty narrow mediolaterally, that's not a remarkably small tibia.

Plus, you can pretty clearly see substantial rugosity (bumpiness) of the bone where I've indicated with an arrow - this type of bony growth only happens when a powerful muscle repeatedly pulls on the origin/anchoring bone. There's nothing that powerful that originates that distally on the ulna, but that's right where tibialis anterior originates on the tibia. Tibialis anterior is the shin splints muscle - it's more than powerful enough to cause the observed roughening.

I have a hard time believing that picture is real given that it's in the form of a demotivational.
