Had to drain a perianal abscess. Standard stuff in a government hospital, but in private practice, it's a rarity. I had forgotten how ABSOLUTELY awful they are.Imagine the smell of a rotten goose egg, mixed with 2 day old vomit, mixed with baby poo... That's about the introduction.
AND I kept a straight face and held down the gag reflex. I am a GOD.

....BUT
I just had one removed. Being a young healthy male it was one of the most embarrASSing episides in my life. All the nurses were young and cute and the surgeon was my age. I begged the Dr to just leave a lance on the table and let me do it myself.
I just kept telling myself that they are pros and probably seen worse. Glad I did not have internet access at the hospital, as I have discovered the Dr's are human too thus not immune to smell.
Oh and the wound care with the nurses was worse. I had a really hot slavic nurse.
So the patient does not enjoy the experience that much either. I do guarentee that are damm thankful as that whole process really hurt.
