Gumby, you should submit some pics for their gallery. Who wants to see close-ups of flowers when they could be looking at your glorious nose?

I'm not sure if you answered this already because I skiped a few pages, but what was the procedure like?

Did you just go in there and sit down and the doctor shot a laser on your nose. Did you get any anesthetics or did it just not hurt during the procedure.

I remeber when my dad tried to get rid of a wart on his foot, and so he heated a needle till it was extremly hot and stabbed the wart. For the next month he was on crutches and seriousely nasty amounts of pus flowed from his foot because of the infections and the burns. Looking at your nasty rear end nose reminded me of that for some reason.

You CAN be given anesthetics but it's really not necessary. The procedure involved sitting down while wearing these little goggles and getting zapped in the nose many, many times. Websites I've read made it sound like a few zaps suffices, but this guy did probably around 50 or so. It was kind of ridiculous.

Well, I'm glad it's healing but I still think you should sue.

Signing a waiver does not protect the doctor against gross negligence, and IMO, letting you leave that office without some sort of protective bandage and antibiotic ointment was a grave oversight.

Blah. Give it up. Gross negligence would be like giving him the procedure without the protective glasses and he lost his eyesight. Scabing/bruising is normal for something like this. So it got infected, OH NO! Like there's never been anyone whose operation got them an infection before. Have you ever seen someone's leg after bypass surgery (or better yet, their chest) or someone's sholder after angioplasty? Even better: have you ever given blood and had them accidently poke through the vein?

You can get punitive damages for psychological harm. I mean, those loving closeups gave me psychological distress, so having it on his own face must be worth two, maybe three times as much. I'm not generally for malpractice suits, but I detest cosmetic surgeons. They run their practices like factory foremen, and if skimping on the postoperative care lecture means the can squeeze in one more procedure procedure that day, they will.

Do you know how much doctors have to pay in malpractice insurance because people sue over stuff like this? A doctor of internal medicine pays 40% to 50% of their income on insurance because someone might sue because a scar screwed up their mid-rift. Doctors who have never been convicted of doing anything wrong have been sued 7 or 8 times. Assuming of course that it heals fine, which I'd wager a large sum of money on, there is no reason to sue. So he got an infection that screwed up his nose temporarily. What does it really matter? It's lawsuits like this that tie up our court system so terribly. Should kemo patients who loose their hair get punitive damages? How about people who have to wear eye patches? There's something to be said for just dealing with it because if this really bothers him so much that he feels the need to sue then he's got more problems that some broken blood vessels.

Christ, in a couple years he'll be able to wear it as a badge of honor. Women dig stories like that. At some party, it'll come out that I'm a licensed emt and I'll have to tell some stories. This will end up being a great party story.

sometimes you can distract yourself from an itch with other sensations... scratch yourself elsewhere, or tap on the nose (?) - something that won't cause scarring.

One of my friends recently had his facial hair removed by laser (he's transsexual), and he, too, suffered from huge, oozing scabs and oodles of puss. It'll pass. Just be glad it isn't your entire face.

I'd call your doctor tomorrow and ask if hydrocortisone cream would be ok to use. It'll probably be fine but you never know.

That's obviously the last thing you'll want to do here--the itching is part of the healing process and as many others have said to scratch at it will only risk scarring and make it worse. Do something to take your mind off the itch--chew gum or some poo poo like that.

Oh grow up, that has nothing to do with your insurance being high. If it's high it's probably because you're an at-risk candidate meaning you�re between the ages of 16 to 28. This was a cosmetic surgery that probably wasn't covered by insurance to begin with (or at least not 100%). High malpractice rates affect doctor's insurance rates; the fact that you smoke and have diabetes and heart disease in the family is what makes yours high. These are just examples, of course, but lawsuit rates for cosmetic surgery have zero effect on your insurance rates.

OH REALLY!?
half the story.

http://www.wclt.com/news/special/politics10376.html

"Further exacerbating this problem, we have found that insurance companies are leaving Ohio or choosing not to issue medical malpractice policies in the state, thus shrinking the competitive nature of the market that helps to keep rates down. In fact, three companies that provided medical malpractice insurance have left the state since December of 2001.

Testimony like this led the Ohio General Assembly to pass Senate Bill 281, legislation that was designed to bring stability back to the medical liability market by curbing the number of frivolous lawsuits that drive up costs for doctors and health consumers. Legally, the bill took effect in April, but it will take time for its provisions to fully affect the market as we intended."

Well poo poo! Sue your parents, dude, they were the ones responsible for your red-nosed genes, thereby presenting you with so much "psychological harm," that you felt you needed to have costly cosmetic surgery performed in order to alter your appearance!! It's a winnar for sure!!!11
