About Me?

Uhhuh. So one time I had this roommate in college who got back surgery, and it failed to close up after like two months so she just had this hole in her back, and I mean it was deep. Like you couldn’t see any healing it was just this hole and like, if you wanted you could probably have lost a dime in there. Though that would probably hurt. Anyway, so I took her to the Wound Clinic and they cauterized the edges of it and then they were all “hey, do you know if she’s living with anyone that can help with her medical care? Otherwise she’s gonna have to come back here every other day.” (in more or less words) and I was all, “I do I guess?” And so they gave me this huge kit with fake skin stuff that’s really cool and a syringe and fluid and a little forcept thing and all this other stuff and taught me how to flush her wound and regrow her skin. It was really cool, and now I feel medically capable. Plus it was a lot less gross than that time I had to pull out all the packing from someone’s infected incision and repack it. Probably could have lost an entire quarter in that hole!

So the fact is that I frequently end up doing weird medical things, and no I am not actually trained for any of it.
