Slightly off topic, but the picture of the kid in post #853 (chemgear's post) - take that and put it on my kid's foot (slightly smaller) - they called it a 'traumatic degloving' - hers didn't come all the way off. Just opened it up and peeled it back, right down to the bone. Her injury came from a toboggan ride down a hill. Go figure.
Eventually, her injury had that "lovely" purple look to it, like the boy's face in Fotze's post (post #855). Then it all sloughed off. And got infected. And then the infection went into the bone. Osteomyelitis. It was great fun. Further complications. 5 hospitalizations. A surgery. PICC line x 2. Pretty much 2 years of hell. </sarcasm>
Back to topic....
