Happy August everyone! We left off last month’s saga of purulence with an epic cliff hangar. Why do we try so many methods to get the pus out when cold, hard steel works best? PAIN! These things hurt! It’s the pain inflicted that makes use go from watching Dr. Pimple Popper in our spare time to picking up as many abdominal pains as possible to avoid the abscess I&D. So this month we end our series on abscesses with a discussion of how to get the pain controlled. I don’t have the best answer to this, but fortunately, we have several smarted and more experienced people who can give you their best advice on how to get the pus out and still feel like a decent human being afterwards. Plus our peer review on the entire series by UA alumnus Dr. Grant Roper so you can see how much we are consistent with the community and how much we are blowing smoke.
