Escape
(506 posts)Happened in the Summer of 1971 in Pratt, Kansas.
The doctor had just been to a seminar where he learned that the infected area could be cut out instead of just having is "sluff off". They didn't get it all in the first surgery, so they did it again the next day..
I had no problems after that, but still have a 6" scar on my back from the surgeries.
The spider that bit Rittenhouse should get the Medal of Honor.
