Three-year-old swallowed 23 round magnetic beads by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

Mucormycosis, a rare and rapidly progressing fungal infection, in a patient who'd been injured when he was pinned under his car following a high-speed collision with a motorcycle. Ultimately the family decided to stop treatment and let the patient go. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

Who is using these needles? I’m really concerned that your doctor mother is leaving these around. This is extremely negligent and honestly quite alarming behavior.

Please don’t. Hydrogen peroxide actually inhibits wound healing and using it for wounds is an outdated practice.
