Thanks for the spontaneous nausea bud. Just imagining that sensation is.... vastly unpleasant.

To those not in the know, these devices DO move around in the 'pocket' the surgeon makes for them.

I've heard some doozies. Friend of my mom has a birds nest of wire all through her pericardium because of some inept surgeon decades ago.

That, combined with the video of the toothpaste-consistency, vibrant green goop that came out of an infected incision has given me a profound respect for good surgeons and post-op wound care.
