What did she stuff inside that thing at the end?

She certainly made a hash of that

That poor guy...he must have felt pretty sick all the way around with an abscess that big

More than likely iodoform infused gauze.
Allows the wound to heal from the inside out preventing it from becoming an abscess again.

I don't think she packed it properly/enough/far enough in the space.

Had to pack my elbow with the stuff after I had a post-op infection in 2013. Changed my own gauze packing/dressings daily.... MYSELF.... for about 2-3 weeks...

And my thought on the whole ordeal?

I dub thee the "Pus Poncho" ..

That was a doctor (not a nurse) in ER. She did an incision & drainage on the abcess and packed it with gauze. She did a very good job & you can hear her and the patient talking about continuing antibiotic.

She actually did a horrible job.

No she didn't. I don't know how many I&D you people have seen, but that is what happens.
