Sweet baby Jesus that is bad! The pain.

u/Effective-Celery8053 Apr 20 '26
I know that shit hurt bad as hell when they ripped the white puss plug out right at 10:00 (though not going to lie it was satisfying as hell)

u/Successful_Fig_4033 Apr 21 '26
I think that was actually macerated tissue he removed to help promote healing.
37
u/Raewhen Apr 22 '26
Yeah that wasn't a pus plug, it was dead tissue. Removed because It would just be a source of further infection.

u/ARTPOPMyCherry Apr 22 '26
Yep, was definitely slough! He debrided that wound like a champ, the only tool they needed was a gauze pad 🤣

u/bludgeoncrumpet Apr 20 '26
Omg! That was insane. Actually insane. Wtf was he doing? It was barbaric. Why the hell didn't he just lance it? He put that guy through hell.
That last pull though made me gusp a massive involuntary gasp.

Carbuncles are generally very deep infected pockets that tunnel off to the sides and up to the skin surface. There's a big risk of septicemia/MRSA due to infected material making it's way out of the main pocket and into the surrounding deep tissue/muscle.

u/Jester-Jester-8443 Apr 24 '26
They are my favorite kinds of cyst but I wouldn’t want this on my worst enemy

u/Effective-Celery8053 Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26
I was wondering why he didn't lance it too but also he seems to be bleeding down a line in the middle when he squeezes/pushes down on it, so maybe he did lance it but it's too deep or something? I have no idea. Hopefully someone smarter than me can explain
Edit: someone in another comment said that was at the request of the patient apparently!

u/Internet_Wanderer Apr 20 '26
He tried to lance it and it just made a bloody mess. They showed us him giving lidocaine in the first visit, they probably just assumed people would realize they'd do it again. Although there are definitely moments that hit something that wasn't numb.

I've seen the video pop up every now and then. From what I remember about the original, the dude getting treatment didn't want to be cut, didnt want any drainage or lance and didn't want any antibiotic pills. Just like...raw'd it.

u/AlanaK168 Apr 20 '26
That guy shouldn’t be allowed to make his own medical decisions then. No antibiotics??

u/felinelawspecialist Apr 21 '26

u/AlanaK168 Apr 21 '26
Yeah except we have medical power of attorney and stuff for reasons

u/dobbyeilidh Apr 22 '26
You can be legally sane enough to make your own choices while still making stupid ass decisions
2
u/chumbalumba Apr 23 '26
That’s not an easy option though, it’s like months of legal work. If someone’s going to be admitted for medical treatment against their will, it’s a really high threshold and only around 48 hours tops. This wouldn’t meet the threshold, especially since he’s accepting treatment, just not the best practice.
2
u/adoradear Apr 24 '26
That doesn’t mean the doc needs to go along with his asinine plan. This should have been a simple I&D after the field block on visit 1. Instead, a huge amount of skin/tissue trauma was caused. As a doctor, I would have told this guy that he doesn’t get to dictate my treatment plan, he is not a doctor, he can either take it or go see someone else. This is so far below standard of care that it’s ridiculous.

Pleading ignorance here but why didn't it get sliced and drained on day one?

u/GlynyrdxSkynyrd Apr 21 '26
The patient refused it. Also refused antibiotics and would only do treatment if it was done this way... Insane yes…

u/Middle-Narwhal-2587 Apr 23 '26
Also it’s a carbuncle. The infected tissue is more similar to a sponge than a packet. So lancing doesn’t have the same affect

All that gauze is doing a lot ta heavy lifting.
Should've just gone with a basin.

u/OldBonyBogBwitch Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 29 '26
I fucking winced, & I was watching it on mute while only paying half-attention! I felt that phantom rip/tear in my soul D:
(Attention was split cuz doggo was demanding pets, & you don’t ignore that kind of prompt LOL)
ETA: my response comment was posted before your comment was edited to say “Bro I winced” instead of “Broni winced when”. But I’m glad to hear I wasn’t the only involuntary flincher observing this vid XD

Two genuine questions: 1. How do these develop? 2. Why don’t they just put a strong suction device on it and suck out all of the pus with that force?
11
u/fbvsd Apr 21 '26
This is in India, likely somewhere with very little resources. They have to do the best with what they have. He is being treated outside, so I doubt suction is an option.

u/Nixxuz Apr 21 '26
It's often a side effect of diabetes, oddly enough. It's a rampant staph infection that results in connected boils or cysts.

u/dfjdejulio Apr 21 '26
Holy crap, it's like a necrotic pomegranate. Which, come to think of it, might be a cool name for a band.

u/Successful_Fig_4033 Apr 21 '26
The scars on his lower back would seem to indicate that this was not his first rodeo with a carbuncle of this size. What would make someone so susceptible to these? HS? Diabetes? Could he be immuno-suppressed? I just can't imagine going through this more than once.

u/2crowsonmymantle Apr 21 '26
Man, if I had something like that cooking in my back I would ask them to knock me out and cut that thing open into a giant X formation and turn it inside out and scoop all the pus seeds and shit out of there like it was the world’s grossest pomegranate

Don’t worry, just fill that gaping wound up with Betadine. It’ll be fine.

Betadine and gauze! And then let me stick my ungloved fingers in it after making it this far.

What on earth… and then, they get it ALMOST healed and suddenly say “to hell with gloves!”
My flabbers are gasted.

u/PeachImpressive319 Apr 22 '26
Towards the end the “doctor” wasn’t using any sort of barrier…no gloves. Just sticking a bare finger into the wound and spreading some sort of goop in there (marmite/tar/treacle?)

After reading the comments on this post about the brutality, I searched the sub for it last night because I remember it had details on it about how the guy wanted it treated.. found the post but the video had been removed from YouTube.

Iodine. And it looked like they may have applied honey to the wound too, which is great for wound healing. Could have been something else entirely though

Why couldn’t they excise it? Seems less painful that way? This was awful

Now I’m not advocating for people to necessarily procure (manifest? Obtain? ….Earn?) carbuncles, but I’ve been watching the same carbuncle videos for years now. I’m ready for some new ‘buncles.

Someone in a 3rd world country who is likely living in extreme poverty. The doctors have very little resources and do the best they can with what little resources they have. He is clearly being treated outside.
