[Joker]

[Sleek-Jet]

[JB in so cal]

If only there was a place to go to get it checked out....:rolleyes

 

[shintoooo]

The Doctor doesn't post here any longer

 

[Windsong]

Its infected...

NO shit!!!!!!

 

[KevinR]

So sorry to hear.
What haven't you removed, or had it removed, after a week?:eek

 

[Sandlord]

I'm not a doctor but I know that Sago Palms are poisonous.

 

[Windsong]

If only there was a place to go to get it checked out....:rolleyes

That Obamacare's is working out.:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:eek

 

[shintoooo]

Go to your local urgent care and have them take it out and clean it up and prescribe you some antibiotics.

 

[Heylam]

It's festering. You need to pop that fucker like a zit and then pull the thorn out with some tweezers. Start drinking first.

 

[shintoooo]

That Obamacare's is working out.:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:thumbsdown:eek

Tell them "No espeeka de english Puto" and they will put you in front of the line. No Charge.

Fixed it.

 

[Essexive G's]

I'm not a doctor, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express.

 

[CoolCruzin]

Sagas are poisonous have it looked at

 

[4Waters]

Fixed it.

If you have the bullshit Obama care then you probably can't find a doctor that will see you, go to the ER by law an emergency room cannot deny you care because of the type of insurance you have they will treat you and Bill your insurance. You can go to UCLA ER with Kaiser, or go to Kaiser ER with blue cross they can't tell you no. Get it fixed.

 

[cofooter]

I'm no doctor but my Dad's got a bitchen toolbox.

 

[traquer]

Urgent care. Pacific Urgent care in OC is great. $99 if no insurance for doctors visit then a few more bucks for antibiotics.

 

[jet496]

My Mother in Law just had to have her finger lanced open due to an infection from a thorn. They said it needed to heal with the wound open. Go have it looked at ASAP. The infection can travel down a canal in your hand through the arm. Not good.

[grumpy88]

It is possible that you have sustained a skin infection from being pricked by the sago palm. These minor injuries could have inoculated bacteria beneath the surface of the skin and as a result causing a skin infection. In order that you treat this infection you will need to have this infection examined by a doctor and you will likely be prescribed a topical corticosteroid along with antibiotics to clear the bacteria causing the infection. Please seek medical attention.

Tired, didn't realize I hit the quote button.

 

[Windsong]

I think I'l put a some robitussin on it.:rolleyes

 

[CigAjerk]

WTF is with these pussy responses?

Get out a bottle of whiskey. Drink half of it right now.

Get out a razor knife and make sure it's relatively clean...if you're unsure regarding cleanliness heat it up a bit with a soldering torch and pour a little whiskey on it.

Get some electrical tape or mexican chrome (duct tape), some toilet paper and possibly some cotton swabs/balls.

Cut that sumbitch out. If you can't cut it out make sure you have some relatively clean needlenose pliars ready to rock to go deep.

Finish the whiskey and tape it up....the order here only matters if you're using the wife's good towels before you mend yourself.

Not sure what the problem is here.

One additional step here with the "man up" cure. We will need video to prove your still deserving of a man card.

I had this guy stuck in my palm for about 2 weeks finally was able to get it out with some drawing salve. It was straight in and you couldn't see it.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

NO shit!!!!!!

Are you twelve? Or don't you know that an infection isn't good and you need to go have it taken care of? You have to come to a boating forum and ask?

I weep for the future.

 

[Chili Palmer]

Yeah, you might want to get that looked at:

 

[Kailuaboy89]

Well.....this has been a productive thread.....:rolleyes

You really don't want to treat this lightly.
Seek medical attention ASAP.
I had a staph infection from a crab bite on my left index finger back in 1968 when I was in Biloxi.
I went to the flight surgeon immediately and he prescribed specific antibiotics.
The infection was controlled after two weeks, however, I still have an indentation of the skin on the inside of my left index finger.
SEEK MEDICAL ATENTION

 

[Willie B]

...my last patient died or I would advise you...

 

[DaytonaBabe]

Nothing can be done. Amputate at the shoulder.


Next patient, please!
