Dude! Remember that one time when they had to remove that barbell from my dick with an air grinder? That was so sick!

Y'know what debridement and removal of necrotic cartilage means?
Plastic surgery.

Even things that look like piercings can cause problems.

Check out the photographs in this paper for some seriously gross shit. And by seriously gross shit, I mean skin necrosis of the penis and scrotum.

All right, brain abscess. The sort of thing that might cause someone to decide to pierce their tongue in the first place. Yeah, I'm judging.

Great, rather disturbing post. Just tried to follow it up on my blog and got this error with your trackback URL:
Ping 'http://scienceblogs.com/mt/pings/62167' failed: HTTP error: 412 Precondition Failed
Just in case that means something to you. Could be my end, I don't know.
Ugh. That's wrong. I found the full text for the first one, and it (unfortunately) shows a picture. It took them 6 hours to cut the barbell off.
There have been times at which I have been sorely tempted to go get that piece of skin on my nose between my eyes pierced so I could put my glasses through there instead of hanging them from my ears. Those time have usually been induced by my glasses slipping uncomfortably, even maddeningly, down my face as I'm working in sterile conditions inside a flow hood.
But then I read posts like this and go make croakers instead.
I would love this blog except for the fact that so many of the publications are behind subscription walls. I am not a student, just a curious layman, so I don't have university access to these pubs. It is a pisser.
Heath, I think I fixed the problem.
BGT, I wish I could just post all of the papers for free, but that would mean emailing A LOT of authors and even still probably getting my ass taken offline. I'll try my best to link to free versions when I can!
