Hey DOC, thanks for the awesome review video! You’ll be happy to know the cyst never came back. Your video was at least as entertaining as ours and I will take you up on the offer for advice, next time I need to do that appendectomy, etc. Keep up the great work, and thanks to Bridget for her faith and support!
@@mannatsharma8003 Obv. he is kidding. LoL They are done arthroscopically now days. and if he went old school. the large incision wouldn't be something that could be done at home.
I went to a real doctor. She injected cortisol into the cyst. It then became so hard that I had to go to a plastic surgeon to cut open the skin to get it out. I ended up with big scar. So these guys are doing a heck of a better job that the real doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Cool Head, what did the doctor think your cyst was??? A pimple or something??? OMG, that's awful. You poor thing. Did you tell this "real doctor" what happened afterwards? I hope you did. Love from Amanda in Australia ❤️
@@amandajones6481 The first two dermatologists thought it would just go away if they injected the cortisol. The last dermatologist took a look at it, and he said it felt like a rock underneath my skin. So he said I had to go to a surgeon to take it out. The surgeon looked at it, and he said there will be a scare after he remove it. So, the moral of the story is to never ever go to a dermatologist for a cyst problem. They are clueless and give you a huge scare.
@@coolhead8686 , I am sitting here in shock, absolutely gobsmacked, that 1- a Dr actually injected cortisol into an epidermoid cyst! And 2- that that Dr was actually a dermatologist! 🤯🤦🏼♀️ Oh, I almost forgot 3- then ANOTHER dermatologist sent you to a general surgeon to have the resulting hard mass removed! Did the 2nd dermatologist forget what they specialised in?! That 2nd dermatologist, should have removed the hard mass themselves. And being a dermatologist, they should have been able to give you a smaller and neater scar that any general surgeon could. @Cool Head you sure had a bad run with dermatologists! Fingers crossed- that you are all done with epidermoid cysts for this lifetime!
In 1961, a surgeon named Leonid Rogozov was stationed in Antarctica. He came down with acute appendicitis and knew that he was going to die without surgery. He was the only doctor there. Without anesthesia, it took him an hour and 45 minutes to cut his own abdomen/peritoneum, remove his own intestines so he could access his appendix, remove his own appendix and suture himself. He almost passed out a few times. He had two colleagues assisting him, one was holding a mirror but he quickly gave up on that and did it by “feel”. The other assistant was taught the names of instruments and how to hand them to him. "The bleeding is quite heavy, but I take my time... Opening the peritoneum, I injured the blind gut and had to sew it up," Rogozov wrote. "I grow weaker and weaker, my head starts to spin. Every four to five minutes I rest for 20 - 25 seconds. "Finally here it is, the cursed appendage! With horror I notice the dark stain at its base. That means just a day longer and it would have burst… My heart seized up and noticeably slowed, my hands felt like rubber. Well, I thought, it's going to end badly and all that was left was removing the appendix." It didn’t though, he successfully removed it, ligated and sutured everything up. Instructed his two assistants how to wash the instruments before administering some antibiotics and a sedative to sleep. Leonid Rogozov became the first person to successfully perform an “Auto-Appendectomy” and died in 2000 at the young age of 66, surrounded by his family at home, after losing his battle with lung cancer. Appendectomies are now compulsory for many Antarctic researchers and may possibly be for astronauts in the future. 07
Love how understanding you were Doctor. Some people do things like this due to lack of insurance and or funds. I am not endorsing doing DYI surgery but seems like that guy has the best friends ever!
I totally agree with you he's just a greedy somebody who thinks somebody will drive from Maine to Colorado for an afternoon appointment then drive back to Maine before its dinner time for 500 dollars
I sorry you took it that way, we are just trying to make an entertaining and educational video. I understand and take seriously the financial issues you and others raise. I’m not certain money/insurance is a factor here but you could be right.
I think the doctor is amazing. He's not telling people to do this themselves but figures IF they are going to, he may as well direct them in doing the correct steps
I think the real crime here is that getting medical attention in the USA is so expensive that it entices unqualified people in non-sterile environments to try and do this stuff themselves. :(
I have seen the socialized medicine countries take 1+ hours to get an ambulance to a location. Every state in the U.S. has so many free or greatly reduced appointments, based on financial capabilities. Everyone wants to complain about the price of medical in our country. I would rather have a debt, then taking the possibility of waiting over an hour for a real medical emergency resulting in death. Now if we can keep people out of the ER's, who have no actual emergency....that would save all of us.
@@ComicalContentGoblinyep. I spent 6 hours throughout evening-night last summer keeping a very elderly lady with advanced osteoporosis and cancer alive who'd broken bones in a fall outside (if it wascolder or wet weather she'f have died for sure), the 999 call centre repeatedly told me she's not priority and refused to send an ambulance. When one finally turned up at 3.40am after I threatened a nurse on the phone "you will be directly responsible for her death" following her repeatedly ignoring me and telling me to just force the old lady to use an asthma pump (just a diversion tactic) the ambulance crew said they were told there was nothing wrong with her and to just check her over. They spent another hour prepping to pick her up and carry her about 20m to the ambulance 'because there wasn't enough light to safely walk' and had to wait for a lighting crew to drive from Exeter to the north Devon coast, 5 men with two lamps. We had big torches! The UK NHS is under a deliberate destruction, refusing to treat people and wasting money on ridiculous practices. She was such a fighterbut eventually died, following pneumonia in hospital, them setting her bones wrong and surgery to rebrake and correctly set, flu, being left in bed in hospital without care (water etc). Its an absolute disgrace, the whole world needs to see the NHS is not this wonderful free service, its a pick and choose who is worth saving service, and if you are not usually fit and healthy in working age then the attitude is 'screw you, go die'. I'm watching this because I have a giant cyst that is affecting my health, yet I'm told NHS will refuse to remove - my GP wont even refer me, in fact they have refused to help with a variety of other quite serious health concerns and I nearly died last year, and they refuse tolet me seemy medical history. I just had to go through the PALS service following a mockery of my chronic back and neck thats debilitated me to not be able to work for nearly 2 years, after nagging for help for so long and fobbed off, then on a 6 month waiting list, I finally got an appointment and the 'consultant' with a smile told me "happy people don't feel pain" and refused to help because I'd said how it had affected me... I had to fight to get an MRI. Looks like my cyst removal is going to cost me around £800, its a shame and over a months worth of income but I guess cars cost the same to repair these days too.
@@ComicalContentGoblinnobody said the UK is good lol your country proved it was also run by clowns back during Brexit. We elected Trump and y'all got Boris lol we're not so far off from each other. I'm looking at the countries that actually have great healthcare systems, like Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, etc.
We should blame the government then! It's not the surgeons fault at this point, the whole of the US is suffering from inflation. And we have a certain vegetable to blame! (Even though he just wants everyone to be happy at the end of the day from what he's done and said ;and yes his mind is very old with logic and beliefs now, but that's probably because he hardly can take care of himself or remember anything)
Go back to 1957 and kids that were basically on their own because our mother could not care less and had the metal capacity of an 11 year old. We lanced a big boil on our brothers leg and he did not die he recovered and after a good dip in the Horse trough cause the water always ran into the bathtub where the horses drank their water and there was algae in the trough and I said that was good for a person cause we came from the ocean. My younger brother and I opened up the boil and gently squeezed out the pus and wiped it all off with Animal strengh Iodine and then smeared the wound with good old Jensons Blue and wrapped the leg with a big piece of an old sheet and carried him in the House and put him on the couch and he did just fine and we washed the wound the next day with more Iodine and heh how could anyone ask for any better care, i was proud of our results and my brother was proud of his big boil scar and well life goes on and we all grew up and got out into the world and began our life.
I'm a retired OR nurse/assistant as needed LOL. I'm glad to see someone else critiques these videos, you from a surgeon perspective and me from an OR nurse perspective. Used to drive my husband nuts. This is my first time on your site, and I'm impressed! Take care!
I think that the doctor watching this is a good guy. Usually, the doctors just rip into the person that's doing this. This doctor however is actually commenting on some of the good things this guy is doing right. Good for you doctor. Your actually being honest and fair to these guys who aren't doctors. I think that it's a good honest commentary on what their doing. That's nice to see for a change. Of course a doctor could do a better and correct way of doing this, but it's just nice to see you THE DOCTOR actually saying complementary things on what their doing right. That's great. Your the kind of doctor I'd come see first preferably. I hope...... no.... I'm sure your practice is going very well. All my best from northern California.............
I was an combat medic then a dietician and my mom was a ICU RN i.e. Real Nurse at Mass General for 18 years. We 4 kids were fixed by our mom many times. She was awesome, I miss her. Thx for helping others.
@@gmandersonjr my mom was a geriatric nurse for 40 years. Started day 1 at the nursing home at the bottom. When she retired, she was the director of nursing for that facility and a few other state houses. So proud of her. She is my hero!!!
I LOVE your comment Emo, it was fantastic! I live in Australia and recently we - Australia I mean - got in trouble with the French government, because we reneged on a deal we'd made with France to buy 2 of their submarines. It turned out that the subs were out of date and not nuclear. So I LOVE what you said in your comment about not being cheap when it comes to submarines, surgery and sushi!!! LOL 😅 I'm going to have to tell everyone 🤣 about this saying 🤣 😂! Love from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia ❤️ 🇦🇺
We need more people like you to do video's like this. This way people that soon do this at home. They learn what not to do and what to do and the things they need before doing anything like this at home. I know right now a lot of people been affected since the covid19 viruse. People lost their homes, jobs, ect. And we have more people that feel they have no choice but to have it done at home. Thank you for doing this video so that people learn what to do and not to do.
I happened to come across your video, and I am very glad I did! You had some fantastic commentary! I love you amusingly understated sense of humor, and I enjoyed your video very much! These guys bring new meaning to the term "I've got your back" to a whole new level! 😄
I performed surgery on myself to remove a Cyst years ago. It was on a weekend so my doctor wasn't a option and I did not want to go to the ER because I thought it wasn’t a real emergency. I did notice the Cyst earlier but I thought it was just a pimple. But on Saturday it was Red, hot and it hurt bad. Just the T-shirt rubbing on my skin hurt bad. So, I went to the bathroom and got my swiss army knife, some Paper Towels and Povidone-iodine. After rubbing the iodine on my chest, I took the knife and also rubbed it with iodine and then I started to cut the Cyst open. After the first cut pus started to gush out and immediately, I felt the pressure went away and the pain got better. After a while of pressing with my fingers and a lot of pus and blood later I noticed something hard. I just knew I had to get it out. So I took a pair of tweezers and after a while I somehow got the sack out. Then I used the iodine again and flush the cavity out with it, sure it burned but it was still better than the pain I had before. Then I took some gauze put iodine on it and stuffed it in the cavity but let a bit hang out and then I put a band aid over it. I removed it the next day and flushed it out again. The Cyst never returned but the cavity took long to heal. I still have a scare but I have to say it went not to bad. But I would not recommend it and wouldn’t do it again.
Sounds like you had an infected cyst and treated it pretty much as I would have, except without the benefit of anesthesia or antibiotics. If the infection spread as a cellulitis you could be in big trouble without access to antibiotics but you got away with it and deserve a congratulations. Doing that on yourself took a good bit of moxie!
Bridget is a Gem Doc! She was upset that you were watching without her! Keep doing more Reactions with Bridget and I’m definitely HOOKED! You two are great! ❤️
Dr, glad you were soooo positive! We need good attitudes like yours. My brother had to sew himself up While out shrimping. Used fishing line. Out at sea for weeks. Did fine. “If I can sew fishing nets, I can sew myself up”
Well there really is only one explanation for self surgery, the cost! Many folks barely have the funds to pay for rent and food they don't have a couple of thousand dollars to drop on an initial consultation and office visit to a Pro like yourself. Even with insurance co-pays and deductibles and a host of other hidden costs it can be daunting for many.
I removed a deep splinter from my father’s foot. Was that a crime? I did use proper gloves, alcohol, a splinter tweezers, and scalpel, all sanitized. The patient survived.
The only crime you committed was depriving some greedy doctor of your cash. This is why I have very little respect for doctors. They think the world cannot function without them to come to the rescue for the simplest of problems.
This. People aren't all helpless morons, and medicine isn't some esoteric art that needs to be gleaned from mountaintop monasteries. There are many medical issues that benefit from a learned doctor and top-tier medical equipment, but there are also many that only require a few tools, some reference material, and half a brain.
Normally when there’s no great action like exploding cysts or tons of blood I would just go on to the next pimple video. Watching this and experiencing yours and Bridgets reactions caused me to watch till the end. I wish drug stores would sell home surgery kits. By the way, those guys really did look like Maine-E-acks. Haha
Come to say that I highly enjoyed this video. I love that the doctor has a sense of humor and seems down to earth. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and can feel/believe differently so keep searching for those vids that suit your fancy.
That’s true Rico, I agree with you. But we paid ALOT of our sons Med School costs and DAMN it is EXPENSIVE!!!! He’s 35 & still paying some school loans off. (He graduated med school at 26 yrs old too!!!) It’s the schools & the insurance CO’s that kill us all with the costs….
After busting in and interrupting what he was trying to do. I’ve never seen the guy before but even I caught his tone when she first entered the room. He was busy trying to get to do his own thing.
As a First Responder our Fire Chief Trainer taught us to have our goggles on bc when the shiite hits the fan and you don't have them on it's too late to put them on, esp in cases of Hep C or Hiv.
Not going to lie, you're going to see a whole lot more of these self surgery situations with how expensive and political medicine has gotten. Now I'm off to cut out my own cyst.
@@ShaglusZ I've had about a 50% success rate. It depends on the kind of cyst. I've got one which is more solid, and I couldn't get it out. Doesn't help that it's on the back of my head.
I watch Dr. Pimple Popper and I am sure that this guy did also. I know all about the cyst and the wall. I had a cyst on my head open by itself and I knew to get clean sterile tweezers and pull the cyst and the sack out. Mine never came back either. I wouldn't choose to have someone do surgery on me but I think this guy did a great job. Colloidal silver will be a good thing to put on it. I use it a lot.
When it first started, I could hear the ones making the video and I could not hear you! Now @ 8:30 I hear you and I can’t hear the video. Was enjoying it very much at the very beginning.😢
Doc with all due respect, copper and silver have been used in medicine for thousands of years. Colloidal silver was used in wound dressings well into the 20th century and was available otc until 1999. There is a very real possibility he might have some lying In a drawer somewhere. As a microbiologist and a person who has gone several rounds with MRSA infections, I wish we saw more "natural remedies" and less Antibiotic use
Collodial silver can be very dangerous. Just because you find it in a "health" store and hear all these miraculous claims does not mean it is a good idea. The buildup of CS can cause the condition Argyria. It will turn you permanently blue. Look it up, those with this look like Smurfs. Let alone what it does internally to be seen later.
@@txlivin7819 Referencing topically applied Cs not ingested Cs. And while I was not specifically advocating for Cs either way. However, there is ongoing research into the anti-microbial properties of silver for use in a.number of fields including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. I would encourage you to read up on some of the latest work including water soluble, negatively charged silver nano-particles.
This was fun to watch with you! I'm glad you could see the humour in it, even though I'm sure it was hard for you to watch. You made this fun, along with the drunk guy and his buddies. But I loved when your assistant asked you "Why are they doing that?" and you answer was a simple, "that's what guys do". Loved it!
Some people don't even have money to feed their families or pay their rent. Plastic Surgery does cost a little. So a decision has to be made on what is more important especially without health insurance. What would do?
My grandfather who is now passed away, read up when he was a young man on how to neuter cats. He thought is sounded easy enough, so he used ether to put the cats out and for years neutered his own cats and they were all fine and lived long lives.
Hey doc, I'm about to do the same thing myself. It's on my chest so I can see what I'm about to attempt. Any suggestions? I have to do it myself because I'm not waiting 2 months to have doctor do it. Thank you for any information and or suggestions.
Great video on both sides ,it's nice to see a dr.not being over critical and trying to teach .also I hope your patients understood you got sucked into.....
How much does this procedure cost at a Dr's office without insurance? (Obviously without insurance bc the probabilities are that they will say its cosmetic)
Worked in a dermatology office very briefly as a medical assistant in training. You are correct that if it is not infected it would likely be regarded as cosmetic and not covered. If it was infected and inflamed, that would have to be addressed before the cyst could be excised. I only finalized a few cyst excision charts, I want to say it was somewhere between $800 and $1800 at a private practice. I know thats a large range, but again I don't remember much. DISCLAIMER: I only had a short time in the office, I could be wrong about everything I just stated. I am not a physician. This is simply what I remember from working with the doctor. I imagine the costs would vary greatly between practice and what area you live in.
I went to the hospital and have a cyst removed and the doctor there didn’t take out the cyst wall either. She told me it could come back because she didnt take out the sac, and i did say to cut as wide as needed to get it all out when she started too but i guess she had better things to do
I might be mistaken , I'm not s Doctor. However I seem to remember my Dermatologist telling me most I & D's for cysts aren't done in a fully sterile environment. The priority is gloves, gauze, sterile lido with epi injections, sterile punch biopsy tool or scalpel, and a sterile currette, also a sterile pair of scissors for blunt disections The wound site just need to be cleansed with betadine or alcohol before the incision it's done.
Thank you for this video critique. I was actually doing research to see how to take a cyst out by myself. Much more involved than I thought. It’s not like popping a zit. It’s interesting and informative. I think I’ll call my dermatologist. Lol
I think this guy did a fantastic job considering the fact that he is not a doctor, he has no tools, and he has limited sterility knowledge. He did an excellent job with reducing the level of pain he is inflicting. I think that nurse you have working FOR you has a superiority complex. She needs to humble herself. I promise you that she wouldn't do nearly as well as the guy did on the cyst extraction in the video.
She makes several positive comments, such as the one about how they're using a clean blade, how they take their time. Both people in the video are making both positive and negative comments.
Normally, since the video was slow going, lack of blood and no squirting cyst here. I would usually just click the next video. Hearing yours and Bridget’s comments kept me interested till the end. I can’t wait to see your next video, thanks for sharing doc.
I've been doing this to myself since I was 17. I am able to get they cyst wall out. I've learned from my grandparents. They learned from other family members. I have a skin condition that when I have a flare-up the outer layer of the skin has to be removing for the topical to keep it under control. It works really well. I've been doing this before RUclips was out. My skin regrow ever 12 hours . I used to go to tight therapy too. The doctor accidentally burnt my skin so bad I had to be placed in a bathtub because of the fever. It took two weeks of being placed in a bed and the skin was very sensitive. I could hardly even turn because of the pain. Since then I won't see the doctor unless I have to in order to get an antibiotic. They finally put me on injectable medication. It costs 5000 for the two shots I have to give myself. It does work but medication that I inject can affect my immune system. If that happens I have to go to the hospital. Luckily I haven't had to do that only one. My employer said it was too risky for me to be at work because I might get an infection on the job they were worried about getting sued if I got an infection from the workplace
Doc was so patient and explained everything. My Surgeon fixed my torn earlobe without even checking in with me. He quickly found out my pain hadn't been numbed enough when I screamed bloody murder🤕🤕🤕
I was just looking at the price of cyst removals. Expensive and insurance always says it's cosmetic. I had to suffer so much thanks to insurance saying just do hot compresses and an infection from a Bartholin's cyst that when it was the size of a tennis ball it was finally treated the Dr. Said what that technically insurance should have to reconstruct the whole side of my body. If I have a cyst now that's bothering me I will go down to Mexico with my husband's families Dr. Cheaper, and they don't make you suffer for months before finally doing something about it.
@janethayes1728 thank you for your empathy. My husband said I was lazy and complaining for nothing. I made him go in the room to see the amount of liquid drained the Dr said it was 3 one on top of the other. I don't know why this started after the birth of my 2nd child. Now when a cyst starts my husband is kinder about it. And tea tree oil along with cutting pork out of my diet seems to help. Usually they start when I'm stressed out. And they don't remove these only drain them. So they reoccur.
I am so sorry. I have been lucky in that each time they removed the gland too because they reoccur. They happen so fast! I hope that they will be able to do this for you too. Like you, after pregnancy and always after going to the gym - was told sweat blockages made it worse. Fortunately just twice, but it is so painful. X
I have taken control of my medical care, the right way. With my doctor. I have Necrobiosis lipoidica non diabectorium. I suffered a systemic infection because of a wound care clinics PDA. They just about killed me. So, my doctor and I discussed me having control of what is and is not done to me. I believe patients and Doctors should work together it makes for a better relationship. The infection the Dr. At wound care gave me was MRSA. 1998.
There's a few problems with that. Just squeezing the contents out won't get rid of the cyst unless you were lucky and yours popped out whole with the sac attached. It then create scar tissue so that it's much more difficult to get out when it fills back up. You also risk getting an infection. Sometimes it can pop backwards into the skin making it even worse. I'm glad you were lucky doing it yourself, but it's recommended to see a Dr. So the risks can be minimal. Plus, it's a lot more comfortable because they have numbing medicine, and sterile tools.
Bridget bears a striking resemblance to Amanda Peet. My biggest question here is, once he had the cyst wall above the surface, couldn't he do like countless others and grab it with tweezers and extract it? Before we knew better, my wife's GP did one of these for her. it appears she just extracted the contents because it's growing again. Worse still, after she scraped it, she PACKED IT WITH GAUZE! So, a week or two later we had to remove that at great discomfort to my wife...i think she's changed GPs since then, hopefully the new one will stay in her lane.
I can tell you from personal experience that health insurance in the U.S. of A does NOT cover the majority of these cyst removals. Not even the ones on an eyelid! So it’s not surprising that people decide to do these procedures at home having watched these mini operations on RUclips! How many people in today’s economy can afford about $500 or MUCH more to fix this kind of problem?!!? I was calling various doctors just last week for a skin cancer screening. My insurance doesn’t cover it and the doctors charge anywhere from $350 -$400 for an office visit and said screening. Outrageous!
I once took out a cyst on my right shoulder having (obviously) only the use of my left hand. It was infected, but I got the sac out and a hard white thing like a big tic tac candy inside it.
I did two one on my neck and one on the middle of back and one planters wart done it home surgery and just made sure that you have sterile instrument it's simple cut squeeze remove sac and more people doing stuff like this cuz hospitals over crowded
I can understand why someone would DIY this. I'm looking extensively for pricing, and they make the process so troublesome. Went through 15+ websites and there's not even a range / clue. But as far as I know, in Ontario Canada, cyst removals are uninsured it's going to be '500$ minimum'. These are tough times yo, I can't afford slice bread. I'm a artist and a sculptor, and have the anatomical understand how to delicately carve around the cyst wall, and let the pressure automatically eject the sack intact. Unfortunately it's on my black, and I neither have friends, nor a clone. Especially not friendships this amazing. Ahaha, very entertaining, and his bros "have his back", quite literally.
I thought at first she didn't know he was recording and when she looked at the camera she would apologize and excuse herself but noooo, Aarrgghhh!! And camera dude don't quit your day job; you were just too far away. I had to turn the sound off and cover Karen. How annoying! Can't imagine working with her everyday or even one day. Ok long enough and nuff said. Have a nice day and good luck Dr! ❤️
I was looking forward to seeing this reaction video. Once I heard the comments about someone's teeth, hair, home and furniture, I lost interest. You swore an oath to do no harm, I sure hope the people in the video aren't offended by your comments. You sir, need to learn to filter your thoughts before you speak. Constructive criticism of their home removal of a cyst is one thing, you being rude is another.
@@youtuberme5020 He can not shame people for things they can't control. We all can't exploit peoples health for money and afford luxuries like dental care and expensive furniture. God I hate boomers.
You have no sense of humor. I'd bet you're "woke" 🙄😝 There was nothing rude about this video and a trained surgeon - 2 of them - actually complimented them! Get over yourself and get a grip
Must have a great immune system with the failure to maintain a sterile field and procedure, but a low grade infection can slowly develope unknowingly for a long period of time. Managed to remove an intact cyst from our anole lizard holding it down with a small forked branch and new exacto knife in the habitat. Glad to say Fred survived and was more comfortable.
And this is why your waiting time in the examination room is so long….your doctor is watching how to…videos….he bills your insurance for a 15 min exam slot…and sees ya for 5 minutes
Hey DOC, thanks for the awesome review video! You’ll be happy to know the cyst never came back.
Your video was at least as entertaining as ours and I will take you up on the offer for advice, next time I need to do that appendectomy, etc.
Keep up the great work, and thanks to Bridget for her faith and support!

In 1961, a surgeon named Leonid Rogozov was stationed in Antarctica. He came down with acute appendicitis and knew that he was going to die without surgery. He was the only doctor there. Without anesthesia, it took him an hour and 45 minutes to cut his own abdomen/peritoneum, remove his own intestines so he could access his appendix, remove his own appendix and suture himself. He almost passed out a few times.
He had two colleagues assisting him, one was holding a mirror but he quickly gave up on that and did it by “feel”. The other assistant was taught the names of instruments and how to hand them to him.
"The bleeding is quite heavy, but I take my time... Opening the peritoneum, I injured the blind gut and had to sew it up," Rogozov wrote. "I grow weaker and weaker, my head starts to spin. Every four to five minutes I rest for 20 - 25 seconds.
"Finally here it is, the cursed appendage! With horror I notice the dark stain at its base. That means just a day longer and it would have burst… My heart seized up and noticeably slowed, my hands felt like rubber. Well, I thought, it's going to end badly and all that was left was removing the appendix."
It didn’t though, he successfully removed it, ligated and sutured everything up. Instructed his two assistants how to wash the instruments before administering some antibiotics and a sedative to sleep.
Leonid Rogozov became the first person to successfully perform an “Auto-Appendectomy” and died in 2000 at the young age of 66, surrounded by his family at home, after losing his battle with lung cancer.
Appendectomies are now compulsory for many Antarctic researchers and may possibly be for astronauts in the future.

Holy cow this is insane thanks for the story.. ...not sure what to think about it though lol
Merci pour l'histoire, très intéressante 👌je n'en avais jamais entendu parler.
There was a woman not more than 20 years ago who operated on herself with breast cancer..she was in the Arctic as well...
I remember him. I thought he was brave and showed the humanity in us all. I am so sorry to hear he died early.
Thanks for story with his actual quotes. Very brave man.
Love how understanding you were Doctor. Some people do things like this due to lack of insurance and or funds. I am not endorsing doing DYI surgery but seems like that guy has the best friends ever!
The guy did a pretty decent job too
I totally agree with you he's just a greedy somebody who thinks somebody will drive from Maine to Colorado for an afternoon appointment
then drive back to Maine before its dinner time for 500 dollars
I sorry you took it that way, we are just trying to make an entertaining and educational video. I understand and take seriously the financial issues you and others raise. I’m not certain money/insurance is a factor here but you could be right.
@@danielkiruri4882 why r u angry at a doctor and not the government? lol
I think the doctor is amazing. He's not telling people to do this themselves but figures IF they are going to, he may as well direct them in doing the correct steps
I think the real crime here is that getting medical attention in the USA is so expensive that it entices unqualified people in non-sterile environments to try and do this stuff themselves. :(
I have seen the socialized medicine countries take 1+ hours to get an ambulance to a location. Every state in the U.S. has so many free or greatly reduced appointments, based on financial capabilities. Everyone wants to complain about the price of medical in our country. I would rather have a debt, then taking the possibility of waiting over an hour for a real medical emergency resulting in death. Now if we can keep people out of the ER's, who have no actual emergency....that would save all of us.
@@ComicalContentGoblinyep. I spent 6 hours throughout evening-night last summer keeping a very elderly lady with advanced osteoporosis and cancer alive who'd broken bones in a fall outside (if it wascolder or wet weather she'f have died for sure), the 999 call centre repeatedly told me she's not priority and refused to send an ambulance. When one finally turned up at 3.40am after I threatened a nurse on the phone "you will be directly responsible for her death" following her repeatedly ignoring me and telling me to just force the old lady to use an asthma pump (just a diversion tactic) the ambulance crew said they were told there was nothing wrong with her and to just check her over. They spent another hour prepping to pick her up and carry her about 20m to the ambulance 'because there wasn't enough light to safely walk' and had to wait for a lighting crew to drive from Exeter to the north Devon coast, 5 men with two lamps. We had big torches!
The UK NHS is under a deliberate destruction, refusing to treat people and wasting money on ridiculous practices. She was such a fighterbut eventually died, following pneumonia in hospital, them setting her bones wrong and surgery to rebrake and correctly set, flu, being left in bed in hospital without care (water etc).
Its an absolute disgrace, the whole world needs to see the NHS is not this wonderful free service, its a pick and choose who is worth saving service, and if you are not usually fit and healthy in working age then the attitude is 'screw you, go die'.
I'm watching this because I have a giant cyst that is affecting my health, yet I'm told NHS will refuse to remove - my GP wont even refer me, in fact they have refused to help with a variety of other quite serious health concerns and I nearly died last year, and they refuse tolet me seemy medical history. I just had to go through the PALS service following a mockery of my chronic back and neck thats debilitated me to not be able to work for nearly 2 years, after nagging for help for so long and fobbed off, then on a 6 month waiting list, I finally got an appointment and the 'consultant' with a smile told me "happy people don't feel pain" and refused to help because I'd said how it had affected me... I had to fight to get an MRI.
Looks like my cyst removal is going to cost me around £800, its a shame and over a months worth of income but I guess cars cost the same to repair these days too.
@@ComicalContentGoblinnobody said the UK is good lol your country proved it was also run by clowns back during Brexit. We elected Trump and y'all got Boris lol we're not so far off from each other.
I'm looking at the countries that actually have great healthcare systems, like Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, etc.
We should blame the government then! It's not the surgeons fault at this point, the whole of the US is suffering from inflation. And we have a certain vegetable to blame! (Even though he just wants everyone to be happy at the end of the day from what he's done and said ;and yes his mind is very old with logic and beliefs now, but that's probably because he hardly can take care of himself or remember anything)
All in all he did pretty good considering
Go back to 1957 and kids that were basically on their own because our mother could not care less and had the metal capacity of an 11 year old. We lanced a big boil on our brothers leg and he did not die he recovered and after a good dip in the Horse trough cause the water always ran into the bathtub where the horses drank their water and there was algae in the trough and I said that was good for a person cause we came from the ocean. My younger brother and I opened up the boil and gently squeezed out the pus and wiped it all off with Animal strengh Iodine and then smeared the wound with good old Jensons Blue and wrapped the leg with a big piece of an old sheet and carried him in the House and put him on the couch and he did just fine and we washed the wound the next day with more Iodine and heh how could anyone ask for any better care, i was proud of our results and my brother was proud of his big boil scar and well life goes on and we all grew up and got out into the world and began our life.
I'm a retired OR nurse/assistant as needed LOL. I'm glad to see someone else critiques these videos, you from a surgeon perspective and me from an OR nurse perspective. Used to drive my husband nuts. This is my first time on your site, and I'm impressed! Take care!
Glad you are enjoying!
I think that the doctor watching this is a good guy. Usually, the doctors just rip into the person that's doing this. This doctor however is actually commenting on some of the good things this guy is doing right. Good for you doctor. Your actually being honest and fair to these guys who aren't doctors. I think that it's a good honest commentary on what their doing. That's nice to see for a change. Of course a doctor could do a better and correct way of doing this, but it's just nice to see you THE DOCTOR actually saying complementary things on what their doing right. That's great. Your the kind of doctor I'd come see first preferably. I hope...... no.... I'm sure your practice is going very well. All my best from northern California.............
Thank you
Love this commentary of the "cyst removal" As a retired nurse, I really enjoyed your comments!! You are certainly a hoot!!!

There are three things you NEVER cheap-out on: Sushi, Surgery and Submarines.
I LOVE your comment Emo, it was fantastic! I live in Australia and recently we - Australia I mean - got in trouble with the French government, because we reneged on a deal we'd made with France to buy 2 of their submarines. It turned out that the subs were out of date and not nuclear. So I LOVE what you said in your comment about not being cheap when it comes to submarines, surgery and sushi!!!

I happened to come across your video, and I am very glad I did! You had some fantastic commentary! I love you amusingly understated sense of humor, and I enjoyed your video very much! These guys bring new meaning to the term "I've got your back" to a whole new level! 😄
Haha, true. Thanks for your comment
Good one!
Amazing the technical skills you develop after only four beers!
True!
I performed surgery on myself to remove a Cyst years ago. It was on a weekend so my doctor wasn't a option and I did not want to go to the ER because I thought it wasn’t a real emergency. I did notice the Cyst earlier but I thought it was just a pimple. But on Saturday it was Red, hot and it hurt bad. Just the T-shirt rubbing on my skin hurt bad. So, I went to the bathroom and got my swiss army knife, some Paper Towels and Povidone-iodine. After rubbing the iodine on my chest, I took the knife and also rubbed it with iodine and then I started to cut the Cyst open.
After the first cut pus started to gush out and immediately, I felt the pressure went away and the pain got better. After a while of pressing with my fingers and a lot of pus and blood later I noticed something hard. I just knew I had to get it out. So I took a pair of tweezers and after a while I somehow got the sack out. Then I used the iodine again and flush the cavity out with it, sure it burned but it was still better than the pain I had before. Then I took some gauze put iodine on it and stuffed it in the cavity but let a bit hang out and then I put a band aid over it. I removed it the next day and flushed it out again. The Cyst never returned but the cavity took long to heal. I still have a scare but I have to say it went not to bad.
But I would not recommend it and wouldn’t do it again.
Sounds like you had an infected cyst and treated it pretty much as I would have, except without the benefit of anesthesia or antibiotics. If the infection spread as a cellulitis you could be in big trouble without access to antibiotics but you got away with it and deserve a congratulations. Doing that on yourself took a good bit of moxie!
Bridget is a Gem Doc! She was upset that you were watching without her! Keep doing more Reactions with Bridget and I’m definitely HOOKED! You two are great! ❤️
Absolutely
Dr, glad you were soooo positive!
We need good attitudes like yours.
My brother had to sew himself up
While out shrimping. Used fishing line.
Out at sea for weeks. Did fine.
“If I can sew fishing nets, I can sew myself up”
Oh wow!
I worked as head of HR for a large fishing company. That does not surprise me one single bit....
Well there really is only one explanation for self surgery, the cost! Many folks barely have the funds to pay for rent and food they don't have a couple of thousand dollars to drop on an initial consultation and office visit to a Pro like yourself. Even with insurance co-pays and deductibles and a host of other hidden costs it can be daunting for many.
I removed a deep splinter from my father’s foot. Was that a crime? I did use proper gloves, alcohol, a splinter tweezers, and scalpel, all sanitized. The patient survived.
Usually best to leave medicine to licensed professionals but glad to hear the patient survived!
The only crime you committed was depriving some greedy doctor of your cash. This is why I have very little respect for doctors. They think the world cannot function without them to come to the rescue for the simplest of problems.
This. People aren't all helpless morons, and medicine isn't some esoteric art that needs to be gleaned from mountaintop monasteries. There are many medical issues that benefit from a learned doctor and top-tier medical equipment, but there are also many that only require a few tools, some reference material, and half a brain.
I’ve been waiting forever for a doctor to critique some of these homemade surgery videos. Love it. Thanks Doc!
Me too Monica ✋️!!! This was so hilarious 😂!
Glad you are enjoying! We have another one schedule to upload next week!
@@RealPlasticsDoc Oh I gotta subscribe right now then!!!! I loved this one!! 😰
Normally when there’s no great action like exploding cysts or tons of blood I would just go on to the next pimple video. Watching this and experiencing yours and Bridgets reactions caused me to watch till the end. I wish drug stores would sell home surgery kits. By the way, those guys really did look like Maine-E-acks. Haha
Come to say that I highly enjoyed this video. I love that the doctor has a sense of humor and seems down to earth. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and can feel/believe differently so keep searching for those vids that suit your fancy.
If care wasn't so damn expensive then these scenarios wouldn't be happening so often.
You have a very valid point.
That’s true Rico, I agree with you. But we paid ALOT of our sons Med School costs and DAMN it is EXPENSIVE!!!! He’s 35 & still paying some school loans off. (He graduated med school at 26 yrs old too!!!) It’s the schools & the insurance CO’s that kill us all with the costs….

I try to be patient... but it doesn't always happen
Also demanding he stop pausing an skip forward - does she not know what a reaction video is?
@RealPlasticsDoc you mean she's not your daughter🤔
After busting in and interrupting what he was trying to do. I’ve never seen the guy before but even I caught his tone when she first entered the room. He was busy trying to get to do his own thing.
He was gentle and took his time!
I can agree with you there!
That's exactly how doctors should do it so they don't cause too much trauma.
As a First Responder our Fire Chief Trainer taught us to have our goggles on bc when the shiite hits the fan and you don't have them on it's too late to put them on, esp in cases of Hep C or Hiv.
Not going to lie, you're going to see a whole lot more of these self surgery situations with how expensive and political medicine has gotten.
Now I'm off to cut out my own cyst.
how'd it go, i'm about to do it too!
@@ShaglusZ I've had about a 50% success rate. It depends on the kind of cyst. I've got one which is more solid, and I couldn't get it out. Doesn't help that it's on the back of my head.
Send me a picture and I’ll try to help
Can you help me
@@Debrahia i recently took my own out. was easy and cost me about five bucks, maybe ten!
I watch Dr. Pimple Popper and I am sure that this guy did also. I know all about the cyst and the wall. I had a cyst on my head open by itself and I knew to get clean sterile tweezers and pull the cyst and the sack out. Mine never came back either. I wouldn't choose to have someone do surgery on me but I think this guy did a great job. Colloidal silver will be a good thing to put on it. I use it a lot.
When it first started, I could hear the ones making the video and I could not hear you! Now @ 8:30 I hear you and I can’t hear the video. Was enjoying it very much at the very beginning.😢
Yes, make fun of but many people just don't have the insurance or money to go to a Dr.
Agreed or a dentist and only getting worse. ✌️🌎
Doing some free research beforehand would avoid a bunch of those blunders.
The commentary from everyone involved in this video is hilarious. It’s so nice to see a doctor with a down to earth personality and a sense of humor.
To be honest I found this video whilst researching a procedure I’m considering doing to mysrlf
I how you didn't go the DIY route!
I like this doctor for his honesty and his explanation which I thought was very good. Nice change in my opinion.........
Great video. Both the doc and his lovely assistant brought even more humor to it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is absolutely hilarious! I love the contrast between the nurse and DR. Oh and his comments crack me up!
Doc with all due respect, copper and silver have been used in medicine for thousands of years. Colloidal silver was used in wound dressings well into the 20th century and was available otc until 1999. There is a very real possibility he might have some lying In a drawer somewhere.
As a microbiologist and a person who has gone several rounds with MRSA infections, I wish we saw more "natural remedies" and less Antibiotic use
Collodial silver can be very dangerous. Just because you find it in a "health" store and hear all these miraculous claims does not mean it is a good idea. The buildup of CS can cause the condition Argyria. It will turn you permanently blue. Look it up, those with this look like Smurfs. Let alone what it does internally to be seen later.
@@txlivin7819 Referencing topically applied Cs not ingested Cs. And while I was not specifically advocating for Cs either way. However, there is ongoing research into the anti-microbial properties of silver for use in a.number of fields including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. I would encourage you to read up on some of the latest work including water soluble, negatively charged silver nano-particles.
Yes I use coloidal silver on any infection like ear infection and goes away without antibiotics in 2 says
I truly enjoyed all individuals in this video. I watch a lot of “serious” medical video. Nice to see one that made me laugh.
Thanks. That was the idea
This was fun to watch! I loved the commentary. Please do more of these!
Will do!
Thanks you are a very good doc and great soul sense of humor.
Thank you. Much appreciated
I would have enjoyed the video more if Bridget didn’t come into the room interrupting you. It was supposed to be your reaction not hers.
I loved the additional commentary. I think she brought some great energy to the interaction.

This was fun to watch with you! I'm glad you could see the humour in it, even though I'm sure it was hard for you to watch. You made this fun, along with the drunk guy and his buddies. But I loved when your assistant asked you "Why are they doing that?" and you answer was a simple, "that's what guys do". Loved it!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
She's such a 'would be if you could be'. What a pain in the arse. He's a gentleman!!
Some people don't even have money to feed their families or pay their rent. Plastic Surgery does cost a little. So a decision has to be made on what is more important especially without health insurance. What would do?
My grandfather who is now passed away, read up when he was a young man on how to neuter cats. He thought is sounded easy enough, so he used ether to put the cats out and for years neutered his own cats and they were all fine and lived long lives.
Clean gloves with sterile instruments? Calling a scalpel a syringe? My oh my. Loved the narration by DrAronowitz!
Hey doc,
I'm about to do the same thing myself. It's on my chest so I can see what I'm about to attempt. Any suggestions?
I have to do it myself because I'm not waiting 2 months to have doctor do it. Thank you for any information and or suggestions.
Great video on both sides ,it's nice to see a dr.not being over critical and trying to teach .also I hope your patients understood you got sucked into.....
Thanks for the critique and pointers Doc. I'm filing away your advise so when I do my next DIY cyst surgery @ home, I will make you very proud!
How much does this procedure cost at a Dr's office without insurance? (Obviously without insurance bc the probabilities are that they will say its cosmetic)
Worked in a dermatology office very briefly as a medical assistant in training. You are correct that if it is not infected it would likely be regarded as cosmetic and not covered. If it was infected and inflamed, that would have to be addressed before the cyst could be excised. I only finalized a few cyst excision charts, I want to say it was somewhere between $800 and $1800 at a private practice. I know thats a large range, but again I don't remember much. DISCLAIMER: I only had a short time in the office, I could be wrong about everything I just stated. I am not a physician. This is simply what I remember from working with the doctor. I imagine the costs would vary greatly between practice and what area you live in.
I went to the hospital and have a cyst removed and the doctor there didn’t take out the cyst wall either. She told me it could come back because she didnt take out the sac, and i did say to cut as wide as needed to get it all out when she started too but i guess she had better things to do
thats too bad
I might be mistaken , I'm not s Doctor. However I seem to remember my Dermatologist telling me most I & D's for cysts aren't done in a fully sterile environment. The priority is gloves, gauze, sterile lido with epi injections, sterile punch biopsy tool or scalpel, and a sterile currette, also a sterile pair of scissors for blunt disections The wound site just need to be cleansed with betadine or alcohol before the incision it's done.
Thank you for the awesome commentary! You seem like such a cool guy. 😁 You've earned a subscriber.! 👍
Thank you, much appreciated 🙏
Love the video, but that nurse was rude, she kept interrupting the doctor when he tried to talk, the cyst removal job wasn’t bad for a rookie lol
I love your commentary, very interesting!
Thank you
Thank you for this video critique. I was actually doing research to see how to take a cyst out by myself. Much more involved than I thought. It’s not like popping a zit. It’s interesting and informative. I think I’ll call my dermatologist. Lol
I love all of the nurse's comments! They are like the Abbott and Cosetlo of pimple popping
I had a general surgeon take out a cyst and it immediately filled back up. He was afraid to touch it again, so I removed it at home.
Wow! I've got to search for a do-it-yourself hernia repair kit, complete with instructive video!!
I think this guy did a fantastic job considering the fact that he is not a doctor, he has no tools, and he has limited sterility knowledge. He did an excellent job with reducing the level of pain he is inflicting. I think that nurse you have working FOR you has a superiority complex. She needs to humble herself. I promise you that she wouldn't do nearly as well as the guy did on the cyst extraction in the video.
Spot on !!!!!!!
She makes several positive comments, such as the one about how they're using a clean blade, how they take their time. Both people in the video are making both positive and negative comments.
Nurses work WITH doctors, they're not secretaries
This was the best reaction video ever! You have a great sense of humor.😂
How can I contact you doctor I need one removed I have NO insurance hope you can help me.
I guess I got lucky! My BF is a veteran combat vet, having served in Desert Storm and Somalia. He has seen and done almost everything.
I love watching both of you watching the video!! For me, it’s the sheet of gold stars on the desk!
This doctor is cool. . He's enjoying watching the guys be kids.. Nice doctor, glad he isn't rude and judgemental 🤩
Thank you!
We'll probably see more of this with medical prices getting higher & higher.
I loved the video! Thank you Doc ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
So what would this procedure cost if done at a hospital or a clinic that is the question?
It depends on a lot of things, location, size of cyst, type of insurance, etc.
Normally, since the video was slow going, lack of blood and no squirting cyst here. I would usually just click the next video. Hearing yours and Bridget’s comments kept me interested till the end. I can’t wait to see your next video, thanks for sharing doc.
He needs tweezers! LMAO! He didn't watch enough of Dr. Pimple Popper!
Yaaaaaaassssss!
even MORE entertaining and educational with the doctor!
Why is the woman so aggressive? She keeps butting in when the doc guy is trying to explain.
Right?? Bridgette is ANNOYING!
I plan to remove a cyst on my right hip. Any tips?
I absolutely love this video. The (real) Doctor's comments are hilarious and the dudes totally AWESOME.....!!!!
The camera man is one of those people who records the cement during a fight
🤣🤣🤣
I’m impressed with the kitchen doc’s attention to hygiene, gloves, mask AND goggles!
I've been doing this to myself since I was 17. I am able to get they cyst wall out. I've learned from my grandparents. They learned from other family members. I have a skin condition that when I have a flare-up the outer layer of the skin has to be removing for the topical to keep it under control. It works really well. I've been doing this before RUclips was out. My skin regrow ever 12 hours . I used to go to tight therapy too. The doctor accidentally burnt my skin so bad I had to be placed in a bathtub because of the fever. It took two weeks of being placed in a bed and the skin was very sensitive. I could hardly even turn because of the pain. Since then I won't see the doctor unless I have to in order to get an antibiotic. They finally put me on injectable medication. It costs 5000 for the two shots I have to give myself. It does work but medication that I inject can affect my immune system. If that happens I have to go to the hospital. Luckily I haven't had to do that only one. My employer said it was too risky for me to be at work because I might get an infection on the job they were worried about getting sued if I got an infection from the workplace
How do you get the cyst wall out or know you got it out? I did my own surgery and need to know asap thanks
I could watch videos with this dr all day !
Thanks! Be sure to follow along on instagram @aronowitzmd !
Doc was so patient and explained everything. My Surgeon fixed my torn earlobe without even checking in with me. He quickly found out my pain hadn't been numbed enough when I screamed bloody murder🤕🤕🤕
Shame on the Dr. 🧐
I like this doctor. He is very interesting
I was just looking at the price of cyst removals. Expensive and insurance always says it's cosmetic. I had to suffer so much thanks to insurance saying just do hot compresses and an infection from a Bartholin's cyst that when it was the size of a tennis ball it was finally treated the Dr. Said what that technically insurance should have to reconstruct the whole side of my body. If I have a cyst now that's bothering me I will go down to Mexico with my husband's families Dr. Cheaper, and they don't make you suffer for months before finally doing something about it.
Ouch. Had two of those removed (UK NHS surgery). I cannot begin to imagine the pain of that!
@janethayes1728 thank you for your empathy. My husband said I was lazy and complaining for nothing. I made him go in the room to see the amount of liquid drained the Dr said it was 3 one on top of the other. I don't know why this started after the birth of my 2nd child. Now when a cyst starts my husband is kinder about it. And tea tree oil along with cutting pork out of my diet seems to help. Usually they start when I'm stressed out. And they don't remove these only drain them. So they reoccur.
I am so sorry. I have been lucky in that each time they removed the gland too because they reoccur. They happen so fast! I hope that they will be able to do this for you too. Like you, after pregnancy and always after going to the gym - was told sweat blockages made it worse. Fortunately just twice, but it is so painful. X
I have taken control of my medical care, the right way. With my doctor. I have Necrobiosis lipoidica non diabectorium. I suffered a systemic infection because of a wound care clinics PDA. They just about killed me. So, my doctor and I discussed me having control of what is and is not done to me. I believe patients and Doctors should work together it makes for a better relationship. The infection the Dr. At wound care gave me was MRSA. 1998.
Once I popped such a cyst on my back with my bare fingers without anything else being used. What s the problem ?
There's a few problems with that. Just squeezing the contents out won't get rid of the cyst unless you were lucky and yours popped out whole with the sac attached. It then create scar tissue so that it's much more difficult to get out when it fills back up. You also risk getting an infection. Sometimes it can pop backwards into the skin making it even worse. I'm glad you were lucky doing it yourself, but it's recommended to see a Dr. So the risks can be minimal. Plus, it's a lot more comfortable because they have numbing medicine, and sterile tools.
Bridget bears a striking resemblance to Amanda Peet. My biggest question here is, once he had the cyst wall above the surface, couldn't he do like countless others and grab it with tweezers and extract it? Before we knew better, my wife's GP did one of these for her. it appears she just extracted the contents because it's growing again. Worse still, after she scraped it, she PACKED IT WITH GAUZE! So, a week or two later we had to remove that at great discomfort to my wife...i think she's changed GPs since then, hopefully the new one will stay in her lane.
Once the contents are removed the wall itself has to be taken out. Otherwise it will eventually come back
So chaotic - reminds me of a soap opera. So many characters involved . I hope the fellow doesn’t get a serious infection.
I can tell you from personal experience that health insurance in the U.S. of A does NOT cover the majority of these cyst removals. Not even the ones on an eyelid! So it’s not surprising that people decide to do these procedures at home having watched these mini operations on RUclips!
How many people in today’s economy can afford about $500 or MUCH more to fix this kind of problem?!!? I was calling various doctors just last week for a skin cancer screening. My insurance doesn’t cover it and the doctors charge anywhere from $350 -$400 for an office visit and said screening. Outrageous!
I once took out a cyst on my right shoulder having (obviously) only the use of my left hand. It was infected, but I got the sac out and a hard white thing like a big tic tac candy inside it.
I've done a few of these but I learned how to do it on cattle first.
I love those pictures being the doctor 🌸 🦋
I guess the doc has never heard of colloidal silver. It works as a natural antibiotic. He did not mean saline.
I was thinking the same thing, surprising he’s never heard of it. Even regular docs use silver ointment on bad burns.
I did two one on my neck and one on the middle of back and one planters wart done it home surgery and just made sure that you have sterile instrument it's simple cut squeeze remove sac and more people doing stuff like this cuz hospitals over crowded
I can understand why someone would DIY this. I'm looking extensively for pricing, and they make the process so troublesome. Went through 15+ websites and there's not even a range / clue. But as far as I know, in Ontario Canada, cyst removals are uninsured it's going to be '500$ minimum'. These are tough times yo, I can't afford slice bread. I'm a artist and a sculptor, and have the anatomical understand how to delicately carve around the cyst wall, and let the pressure automatically eject the sack intact. Unfortunately it's on my black, and I neither have friends, nor a clone. Especially not friendships this amazing. Ahaha, very entertaining, and his bros "have his back", quite literally.
You should be able to have a little cyst removed in most areas for less than 750$
As a lady in the 70 I think all you guys are very funny, i just love to see this operation.😂😂😂
Thank you, so happy you enjoyed it
I thought at first she didn't know he was recording and when she looked at the camera she would apologize and excuse herself but noooo, Aarrgghhh!! And camera dude don't quit your day job; you were just too far away. I had to turn the sound off and cover Karen. How annoying! Can't imagine working with her everyday or even one day. Ok long enough and nuff said. Have a nice day and good luck Dr! ❤️
Wow, sometimes silence is the best choice ...
@@NegleLir Me or them?
This was super enjoyable!!
thank you, I so happy you liked it
I was looking forward to seeing this reaction video. Once I heard the comments about someone's teeth, hair, home and furniture, I lost interest. You swore an oath to do no harm, I sure hope the people in the video aren't offended by your comments. You sir, need to learn to filter your thoughts before you speak. Constructive criticism of their home removal of a cyst is one thing, you being rude is another.
Do no harm to patients. That doesn’t mean he cannot make jokes.
@@youtuberme5020 He can not shame people for things they can't control. We all can't exploit peoples health for money and afford luxuries like dental care and expensive furniture. God I hate boomers.
I didn’t take offense at any of that stuff and thought it was hilarious! Anyone know a good floor refinisher?
You have no sense of humor.
I'd bet you're "woke" 🙄😝
There was nothing rude about this video and a trained surgeon - 2 of them - actually complimented them!
Get over yourself and get a grip
@@susanzeidler3960 There are some remarkably dumb people in this world. Thanks for helping me understand that.
That was fun listening to you. 😊
Must have a great immune system with the failure to maintain a sterile field and procedure, but a low grade infection can slowly develope unknowingly for a long period of time. Managed to remove an intact cyst from our anole lizard holding it down with a small forked branch and new exacto knife in the habitat. Glad to say Fred survived and was more comfortable.
Definitely!

And this is why your waiting time in the examination room is so long….your doctor is watching how to…videos….he bills your insurance for a 15 min exam slot…and sees ya for 5 minutes
Heat and moisture over a long time helped mine erupt. Squeezing it out was painful at the end but worth it.
