A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

pure darwinian! pure idiot, he missed his head.
Happens more often then you think. I believe my father as a resident encountered a lady who shot off her toe as it was "bothering" her.
Why isn't a shotgun one of them? According to the article, the wart was gone!
And not even one of your patients!
Hey, it worked. That has to count for something.
The treatment also works for genital warts.
Ask your doctor if Tengauge™ is right for you.
Blank shells can be used as placebos.
How drunk do you have to be to think this is going to work?
Though, to be fair, when I was ten, I cut off two warts with a craft knife. And cauterised the wounds with the end of a metal bolt heated on the stove. I can tell you it works better than a shotgun, but it hurts like f*ck.
Also, parents are less impressed by this level of ingenuity, soicism and surgical skill than you think they should be.
So that's why Brit's don't have guns...
Why does Wile E. Coyote come to mind?
How did he possibly think that only the wart would be removed? Perhaps he expected the shot to just skim his finger, gently lifting the wart away.
I know us Brits don't encounter firearms as much as most countries but come on?!
Shame the wart wasn't elsewhere, could have given him a Darwin Award.
From the article, we have this entry in the "Understatement of the Century" Contest:
Martin Ward, prosecuting, said: “On the afternoon in question he had some drink.”
Damn, why didn't I ever think of that?
Psych consult, definitely!
I just used the tip of a Phillips screwdriver I'd heated in a flame. Removed the wart *without* also removing the arm....
Why not? It worked. That wart is gone.
