WTF! Burn? No anesthetic?

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
Yikes, Burrell. But good that it's nothing long-term?

Burning could mean using liquid nitrogen or something with a local anesthetic. I had that done for an odd bump on my nose and some odd cells on my cheekbone--which I was annoyed by, 'cause I liked that birthmark. Nothing beyond getting rid of some stuff that wasn't a problem at the moment but wasn't serving any useful purpose.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
WTF! Burn? No anesthetic?
Yep. Evidently it's a blood vessel thing, and local anesthetic constricts the vessels and makes it temporarily disappear. To make it go away, it needs to be burned without anesthetic. He says it hurts too. He tried to do it to himself at some point, but he couldn't stop flinching.

not your mom's socks.
Burrell, I vote that your Dr. be renamed DR. TMI.

I can't stop laughing, Sox. I think that every time I see him.
Oh yeah. He also chided me for not coming to see him for the past four years. Whatev.

Yeesh, Burrell, never mind.
Always fun when the doctor says "I've had that, it's a bitch." As did my female doc re: a colposcopy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, Ginger.
