Why the fuck do people wait until their shit gets to this point before getting any medical attention?

I'd soak my feet in gasoline before I'd let that happen to me.

[–]Chernab0g 5 points6 points ago

Lack of money most likely. Think about it. If a doctor's visit is gonna cost you 300 bucks when you think you just have athlete's foot are you gonna go? Hell no. Then one morning you wake up and your body looks like swiss cheese and it has turned into a hotel for maggots and creepy crawlies you bet your fucking rose-smelling-asshole you are hoofing it to the ER. Man I love living in Canada. Sure I have 7 hour wait times in a doctor's office when I have the sniffily wiffilies but at least I don't have to pay an arm and a leg (lol pun)when my body is infested by terrorist maggots.

Actually it's a common medical practice in some areas to use maggots to clean infections or wounds. Those were most likely put there on purpose. As a matter of fact I believe that this picture belongs to an article that talks about it.

I know. Leeches are used much for the same purpose

[–]Beatleboy62 0 points1 point ago

I saw this photo on here in the past, and a few people there said the same thing.

[–]Jacosion 0 points1 point ago

Still pretty crazy though. I don't know if I could sit still while feeling little fly babies eat out the dead and rotting flesh from the inside of my foot. Or maybe it would feel soothing. Brb, getting ice cream scoop for bottom of foot.

Me too. I just got my appendix out free of charge. Yeah I had to wait in ER for an hour and another 2 hours before I actually had the surgery but at least I didn't pay between 1,000-100,000 dollars

UK and the NHS ftw

[–]i_cunt_hair_you 2 points3 points ago

American here and this is 100% true.

[–]Sojournerr 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't cost that much to keep it clean.

[–]SubmergedYak 2 points3 points ago

What have I just seen

[–]Amenuensis 1 point2 points ago

Ah nope, not zooming in on that one.

[–]xeroxee 2 points3 points ago

It's like they're waving at me.

[–]Anniebanannimock2 0 points1 point ago

I think I'd want my foot removed promptly.

[–]mr_niggle 0 points1 point ago

i think i'm going to cut of my feet now. just so nothing like this will EVER happen to me.

[–]Hastadin 0 points1 point ago
