This is not for the faint of heart, this is really nasty, but have you ever come across something like this in your field.

That pimple has a lot of puss. :twisted:

Holy frig, his leg must have been killing him with the amount of pus that came out of it! It'll be a miracle that he doesn't lose his leg (or his life).....can anyone say SEPTIC???

Septic. Now what? :wink:

[Connie31079]

Removal of any necrotic tissue, irrigation with antibiotics, along with lots and lots of IV antibiotics, would be my guess! Been there - done that, when my appendix ruptured a few years back, only the pus that came out of me was black, not white.

Then was discharged out of the hospital after 8 days, with a BP of 80/40, and a temp. of 104.4C... :shock: Only to end up back in hospital 3 days later!

Why they discharged me from hospital in that condition, I'll never know!

Never want to go through that ever again! It was horrible!

[AMESEMT]

Wow..............I am speechless!

[Asysin2leads]

Can any of you more medically inclined people out there get past the ick factor and tell me what in the name of God was going on here? I can only guess some kind of very bad deep tissue infection. Maybe a diabetic? I wouldn't doubt a homeless person. Lets throw some academics at this or we can just go back to puking in our popcorn.

I'm going to have to say that there was some cytokine 2 activity going on there.

[AMESEMT]

I would have to agree with Asys. There is another video, the beginning, which looks like a possible sore on the side of the knee they cut into. How can someone let that go on for long enough to get that infected, I am assuming that would be quite painful?

My grandmother had a pocket of puss (come to find out staph infection) on the lateral side of her right knee knee. She was gardening and got a minor scrape that healed and eventually formed the pocket. The pocket was the size of a pea and she said it was quite painful and warm to the touch.

[Just Plain Ruff]

I would suspect without seeing the rest of the leg or knee that there had been some sort of surgery on the knee. I would suspect that the knee repair had gotten infected and this is the result.

but EWWW can you imagine the smell.
