LOL.. “And lo and behold...it healed.”
I mashed my knee really bad to the point were a 2x3 area of the skin tissue about a half inch thick flopped down and was just dangling over the kneecap. The wound was full of mulch as I was trying to round up some sheep that got out of the pasture in the woods and fell on a rock covered in dirt.
Went to the local Dr. office two days later (Monday morning) and they tried sending me to the emergency room. The only person who could see me was a physicians assistant who said he only works on sore throats and runny noses.
He got me some betadine solution and I took a scalpel and cut out the mashed tissue and scraped out the dirt myself. By the time I finished there were two MD’s, a nurse and a PA watching me do it... I joked..”No brain, no pain..”
On another visit I asked for a script for some penicillan to treat a sinus infection. They told me I would need a Dr. visit for it so I told them I would use the same stuff I use on the cows and turned and walked out the door. They wrote that on my chart...LOL
I happen to know a little about medicine....and have friends that can write me scripts...if I need them.
In 20 plus years, I've leaned on that TWO times for a script...both times on a weekend.
Once for a horrible sore throat....got some bug killer..and once not long ago...for a bad poison sumac contact dermatitis....got some systemic 'roids.
Anyhoo....you sound like a savvy person. Good on ya!!
What do you use on cows and where do you buy it?
