I had to get a bite wound flushed. When the doctor told me, I was like "oh ok, sure" because it sounded fairly innocuous. But no, it was excruciating. Worse than the bite itself.

They take a huge pitcher of saline solution and then pump it through one of the holes of the wound and push the water through so that it comes out the other hole. And I mean, it shoots out of there with incredible pressure. I had water flying out of my arm, hitting the walls of the doctor's office. And with the water comes out blood and fat particles. And your skin is just sorta flapping as the water shoots out. They did this over and over until all the water was gone. Horrible experience!

So that took half an hour. I know that seems short compared to several hours of work, but believe me, the time went SLOWLY. Every second was accounted for. -_-

I've also worked 14 hour days before, on my feet, carrying 15 pounds of equipment on my shoulders. Not cool.
