Re: Random Medical and Weird I Find ALWAYS UPDATED * child warning
The 23 year old cleaner had to clean the pulley, while the electrical technicians were checking the rotating direction after changing the electrical motor. The cleaner was standing on the pulley, when it began to rotate. Probably he fell or the pulley pulled his leg. There wasn’t any warning table. His leg was broken and he suffered bad injuries gee he would be all cut up huh · |

Re: Random Medical and Weird I Find ALWAYS UPDATED * child warning
I took care of an elderly woman that had partial paralysis from a stroke qhich made the uterine prolapse worse. We had to push it back up inside her every time she went to the bathroom....it was the oddest thing I think I've ever had to do! After that I now do my kegels throughout the day EVERY DAMN DAY! That is definitely something I don't want to ever experience!

Re: Random Medical and Weird I Find ALWAYS UPDATED * child warning
Necrotizing Fasciitis, or flesh-eating disease as the media likes to call it, is a rapidly spreading infection along the fascia or the layer of tissue that binds skin to muscle. This deadly disease is caused by a virulent strain of the same bacteria also responsible for strep throat, rheumatoid fever, scarlet fever, impetigo, childbed fever, and toxic shock syndrome - Group A Streptococcus pyogenes. This particular form of strep infection usually starts at an area of trivial skin injury - a bruise, scrape, or small cut. The area becomes reddened and hot to the touch as the infection begins, but over 2-3 days the infected tissue begins to die (necrotize). The skin will gradually darken to purplish or black, and large, blood-filled blisters called bullae will begin to form. The below photo from UCSD med school illustrates both the appearance of skin infected with necrotizing fasciitis and the blood-filled bullae. ![]() Both the infection itself and the treatment are horrendously painful. The lady in the photo above would likely have all the skin stripped off her leg from below the knee to the crotch if she wants to live, after which she'll look like she's been partially dissected until after skin grafts are applied. Meanwhile, not having skin is a huge risk for other types of infections. Recovery is likely to be a long process, involving physical therapy and plastic surgery and lots and lots of medications. While very rare, the Centers for Disease Control reports that there are fewer than 1000 cases a year in the US. Even with quick treatment, death occurs in many cases |
