monitor 😕

Does anyone actually have a monitor for sale? 🤣

Alright, my apologies... can you explain what exactly makes an ovarian exam so terrifying? 😕

It’s like they shoved a probe through her ear just to get to her brain 🙄

Come on, let's get one more 🙂

Larry Bailey2, did you apply it lightly or slather it on after?

I’m getting ready to deal with some removal in a few awkward spots, so I wanted to check.

Nobody’s going to jump you or anything! They aren't going to assault your moles right at the clinic entrance 😉

There are actual diagnostic tools used to check the type and condition of a mole, and the surgeon will tell you exactly which ones need to go based on those results.

In my case, they recommended I shouldn't even touch one unless it becomes absolutely necessary... if it even comes to that.

Anyway, from what I've seen, the nastiest ones—the flabby, protruding, massive ones—are actually the easiest to get rid of. It's no big deal and leaves almost no scarring whatsoever.

Honestly, you're just throwing money away if you go the laser route. This electrical current method—electrolysis—is top-tier. They’ll personally evaluate which moles are safe to remove this way and which aren't. Plus, they can actually send those moles to a lab for biopsy after electrolysis, which isn't really an option with lasers once they're gone.

And I won't even mention that the electrical method is about five times cheaper than getting hit with a laser.

I’d strongly suggest seeing a plastic surgeon instead.

They use a technique called electrical cauterization to shave them off. I just had two removed from less obvious spots to see how the healing and scarring would hold up, and honestly, I couldn't be happier with the results.

In fact, I’m heading back next week to get a few more taken care of.

Avoid the "leftovers" you get from standard surgical excision at all costs. My surgeon actually referred me to a specialist because he explained that traditional removal leaves a scar at least twice the size of the actual mole itself. It’s such a waste, especially when you're dealing with those completely harmless types.

😁 😁 😉

Or maybe it's because I used a marker to draw a perfectly symmetrical incision before the surgery so they wouldn't mess anything up—they realized there might be issues if I were actually conscious.😁

Why 😕

Should we be afraid of our own gut instincts 😉?

Scott Allen10, fine then, help me wrap my head around why I couldn't go with the spinal option.

Now I’m starting to get concerned myself... my mom’s relative had a leg amputated under spinal anesthesia.

Why couldn't they just perform my abdominal surgery without using the classic method?

If I had actually INSISTED, would I have been granted a different type of anesthesia? 😕 Does a patient even have the right to choose?

I'm genuinely curious.

I went through a four-hour surgery and ended up with a massive, gaping cavity 😕

So, was I just incredibly lucky?

Why on earth does dental work have to be such a nightmare?

Can someone clear something up for me?

Everyone here keeps acting like intubation is some massive, terrifying ordeal😱 during "standard" anesthesia.

I went under for surgery last year—they tube you once you're out and pull it before you even wake up. You have absolutely NO idea it even happened, and there aren't any lingering side effects.

So, what exactly is the big deal here?😕

By the way, I specifically REQUESTED a spinal or an epidural because I WANTED to be conscious while they were digging around in my abdomen, but they wouldn't allow it.

The excuse they gave was that I’d probably just end up arguing with them mid-surgery.🙂

Hey No123 😘

Glad you reached out 🙂

My guy 😁 has been doing alright lately... they tweaked his meds because he was dealing with some intense extrapyramidal side effects... 🙄I love it when they use medical jargon like that so I can spend my entire afternoon Googling terms😁

Nazhalost, even though he's on Zyprexa, it's clear that years of improper treatment have taken their toll... the worst part is how much he just paces in circles. Dammit, the man puts more miles on his feet than a marathon runner 😢

He's somehow stopped being obsessed with food; he doesn't just "devour" everything put in front of him anymore. It's not bad, 🙂

plus we haven't had any "thefts" of clothes or belongings for quite a while now 😵

Omega 3, you say? Well, I can give that a shot. Thanks for the advice 👍

Ugh. My ex-mother-in-law’s bloody diarrhea 😈

Mary, there are people out there who would love to reach out to you privately, too 🙂

To make that happen, you’ll need to clear out your inbox whenever you can find a spare moment between tending to the garden 😉

The only way you’re going to get lasting relief from these sinus issues is through controlled suction—basically, forcefully clearing out that inflamed buildup from your sinuses.

And here I was, under the impression you were actually studying medicine. 😵

Lisa Moore61, there’s no need to get worked up over this... it’s clearly just another desperate grab for attention ☕
