Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHad another ticklish procedure today.
Not ticklish for a trained surgeon who has done a residency and everything.
But kinda ticklish for me. I excised a lipoma, or a collection of fatty tissue, usually benign, from a patient's scalp.
You have to be careful around the scalp since it's so highly vascular. Lots of bleeding. I kept dissecting and dissecting, trying to find the core of this thing. I was just about to give up when I struck the motherlode.
I kept extracting all this fatty tissue; I thought I'd never be done.
I finally finished, and sutured him up.
But it was, you should pardon the pun, a little hairy...
