Wow. I cringed a few times, but this has helped me decide in favor of removing a pea sized cyst myself. Sure, I could go to the Surgeon my PCP recommended, but what if I was out in the wilderness with no access to doctors? The only thing I am lacking is anasthesia. You had access to Local I guess from your doctor friend. How can someone with no doctor friend numb the area? I don't want to use ice...

wow, risking malpractice, that is much braver than self surgery..

I wouldn't mind doing this if I had too, but I would be afraid of cutting a nerve or something. That would suck :-/

And she didn't have any gloves for you? How odd.
