Gross out-- Not for the faint of heart

What were those umm....... Round globs? 

I think those were cysts. I could only watch about 5 seconds, when I saw the green stuff come out of the liver...that was it for me.

I told you, they were breast implants...  

They were cysts, in all actuality.

  Can't always help it, it seems like my mind finds its home in the gutter.

Livers aren't supposed to do that, right?

Right. I'm a little afraid to know how someone could let things go for that long to get that bad. 

The patient had to be in agony before they did the surgery.

[diesel_darlin]

Absolutely.

I think the green stuff was bile, and the only stuff that is actually supposed to be in there. My first thought when I saw that video was "those guys are gonna love this". I just watched in amazed horror.

Count me in on that statement.  Wow....

Well, the patient is going to be significantly thinner now. That may be a plus.

My mother had what I can only call "skin balls" in her scalp.  One day she asked me to take a look at one of them.  It looked like the roller ball on a deodorant stick.  So, out of curiosity, I took a needle and inserted it into the ball and flicked it out of her scalp, then cut it in half to reveal a dry, powdery substance inside.

That is so weird!  I wonder if it was dandruff build-up that hardened on the outside?

Sounds more like plaque psoriasis on her scalp....maybe eczema.  My bother gets them sometimes....they are weird.  If he doesn't have the stuff from the dermatologist, he said T-gel works almost as well at getting ridding of them...I prefer MG217 over T-gel myself (it smells worse, but works better IMO).

It wasn't any of the above.  She had these cysts that usually the doctor would have to cut out, but this particular one had somehow moved to just under the skin, and somehow made it to the surface.  It was about 1/4" round and was rubbery, like skin.

I usually can't watch medical stuff but just had to see this...then I couldn't stop watching.  It was like a clown car or something...they just kept popping out.  That poor person must have been miserable.

ETA: curse you, Google.  Those are TAPEWORM LARVAE?  ughughugh.

I've been reminded of the time that we were driving home from Holyhead, across Wales, on a twisting road with a low speed limit and DS1 had something wrong with his stomach and his burps smelt awful.  Actually awful isn't a strong enough word to describe how bad it was.  These burps were EVIL, think nappy bucket (diaper pail) mixed with silage, stink bombs and that bottle of milk that you didn't realise was lost in the shopping bag for three weeks.
So we are driving along with all the car window open in not wonderful weather, all of us freezing cold and trying not to be sick.
We ended up stopping at a pub for dinner and having to sit outside in the rain to eat it because we didn't want anyone else to have have to suffer the smell.
It took 3 days for his stomach to get back to normal and everytime he burped we all practically stampeded out of the door.

Did anyone else want the surgeons to poke one of the cyst balls to see what would happen?
