They sent you to the fuckin hospital OR for a mole removal? There were no skin clinics that could do it in the office?

The UK - nope. We're currently leaving our elderly sick people in corridors to die and when they're full we leave them in the ambulance. This has ramifications that we are in no way able to deal to deal with. It's hilarious, unless it's happening to you and yours, in which case - oops.

Sadly the sugar free Haribos in stores now won't do the job. They replaced the sweetener with a less interesting one.

If you want a deep clean your options are the stuff they give people before a colonoscopy, or novo virus.

This thread is becoming my medical history 'cos guess what? I've got a mole story.
I had a mole on my cheek that was getting medically interesting, due to fact that it got shaved (along with the rest of my face - I wasn't just shaving the mole) so a doctor said the best thing was to remove it. Fine, wasn't particularly attached to the mole except in the literal fact. He said that he could do it in the GP surgery - had a go. Turns out he can't, cos it's surgery and he's not a surgeon. So I get sent to an actual professional in a hospital to have this gone. No problem. Weirdly I had to be naked 'cepting for a surgical gown - the mole was on my face, and the other patients were allowed to keep their underwear on - still baffled. The procedure went fine, until towards the end when the local anesthetic wore off and I could feel what was going on. I could tolerate it, so did so. Until they cauterised it. I was a bit sweary, they were surprised and it's my fault, 'cos I should have mentioned it earlier.
Oddly, whenever i go to the doctors now, my blood pressure goes thru the roof, which is not good for health checks. As you can probably tell I try not to see doctors very often now.
I'll aim to not to mention my health experiences, 'cos I'm assuming there's a thread for that that I will endeavour to find.


Well of course, how could they remove the Mole if your pants are on?

When they are that big you can use ligature. Wrap a string around it real tight. Within a week it will shrivel up and fall off (like an umbilical cord). No blood, no scar, hardly any pain.

I had a skin tag on the very tip of my nipple in middle school and because I'm an idiot and was then very self conscious about my body I cut it off with scissors. Regular dull not-hot scissors. A shocking amount of blood ensued

I had a friend try and pierce his nipple with safety pins a few times. He'd heat one up over the stove, number the spot with an ice cube, then piece away. He'd also have to take it out a few days later after it inevitably got infected. I think he tried it 2-3 times per nipple.

Oh yeah, when my tooth shattered and I didn't have insurance, I had to go around with it in my face for a while. The nerve thing in the middle was dangling but nothing about it hurt, surprisingly. I got insurance maybe a year later and finally got it removed. Can't afford to fill the hole but hey, now I have cadaver bone in my jaw.

You must complete the trifecta by referring to to someone as "fuckalupagus" during the meeting. Yes, like the Sesame Street character. Preferably in the form of "listen up, fuckalupagus".

Do all three and a Project Management doctorate from DeVry University will arrive in your mail the following full moon.

E: oh gently caress the thread has moved on. Uhhh, two of my crowns came out (fully popped off on a road trip to Austin, TX, probably a sign), and by the time I got back the teeth had degraded enough that they couldn't/wouldn't (lovely dentist) fix them even though I kept the crowns, so I have some popped open fully dead teeth. Cool guy poo poo. A later dentist filled in the gaps with a bit of tooth cement (maybe he wasn't a dentist I dunno but he put it on my care credit card i dunno) so I have some weird jagged edges in my mouth I occasionally get cut by and file down with a metal file. But nothing gets stuck in them anymore so, uhhh.

American healthcare is pretty hosed up, you guys.
