Had a cyst on my toe for the past five years or so. Would swell up and get painful occasionally and I paid to have it drained once. Went to doing it myself as it was easy, pretty painless and a hell of a lot cheaper and more convenient. Saw my primary doc a few months ago and was told how bad an idea that was and that it would eventually cause significant problems up to losing the toe.
So I go back to the podiatrist who schedules surgery. Just a little outpatient deal to get rid of it. I wasn't told I'd be in a surgical boot for two weeks and unable to get my foot wet (or sweaty), in August, in Indiana. **** me, great, whatever, it's too late now so I'll deal with it. Two weeks come and **GASP** it isn't healed, let's give it another week. Another week and *GASP* it still isn't healed. Five weeks and I'm finally able to take a regular shower, wear shoes and get some work done.
Couple weeks go by and I'm keeping it covered with Neosporin as I"m supposed to during the day and leaving it open at night. The scab finally came off yesterday revealing some nice, pink, brand new looking skin with the same ****ing cyst sitting right were it was before.
What do I get for the privilege? A few thousand dollars out of my pocket and a "better luck next time". I'm ****ing done with the medical industry.
