- orlyfactor, on 11/18/2008, -0/+10A sucker, huh? We should call that chick that lost 400k to Nigerian scam artists...
- MiDri, on 11/18/2008, -0/+7"I know. You paint one picture, nobody calls you a painter, you write one story, nobody thinks of you as a writer
...but you ***** one goat..." -- Some random person on reddit or digg. - MeatMountain, on 11/18/2008, -3/+9Thats what she said
- inactive, on 11/18/2008, -2/+8Don't the patent office check to see if things have been done before?
Actually judging by some of the ones they award apple, no they don't. - jaksu, on 11/18/2008, -0/+6wound sucker 2000, same as 1000 but with FLAMES
- DemiRonin, on 11/18/2008, -2/+8Just use a sensu bean
- Cglass, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5You shouldn't have cuts on your penis.
- Confucius37, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5They already have this its called a wound vac, friend of mine had one after a surfing accident, they really work quite well.
- sipsyrup, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5Didn't you see The Island? Have you learned nothing!?
- sockpuppets, on 11/18/2008, -1/+6Your dick didn't blend, huh?
- dotorg, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5No, they use leeches (to this day) because they remove pooling blood which can lead to necrosis.
Leech therapy is not at all uncommon with re-attached fingers, etc. - Dinsdale77, on 11/18/2008, -3/+7Understanding healing, it was a simple matter of accelerating the process.
- ApokalypseNow, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5No, they used leeches on people because they thought that illnesses were due to an imbalance of bodily humors - they believed that blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile needed to be in balance in the body in order for a person to be healthy, and as such, any illness that caused the skin to become red was due to an overabundance of blood, and since leeches drain blood, they thought they were helping somehow.
- embryoinbloom, on 11/18/2008, -0/+4The description made me think it was a person that would push and pull on your wounds a first.....
- KingGorilla, on 11/18/2008, -0/+4So would it be like killing two birds with one stone when you have a scab on your penis?
- sockpuppets, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5His goat understands English.
- ApokalypseNow, on 11/18/2008, -0/+4@dotorg
I thought he was referring to the historical use, not the modern use. - DubBucket, on 11/18/2008, -0/+3That joke has been around a hell of a lot longer than reddit or digg...
- bobbinika, on 11/18/2008, -0/+3i just keep poking at my flesh wounds...
i just like to make it hurt when i poke it - UnLoOpY, on 11/18/2008, -1/+4Old News!
I had vac-dressing attached to a vacuum pump on me last year. They're calling it an invention? Far as I know it was already a few years old when I used it.
it worked just like this too, you had a wound, they stuff it with sponge and run the pipe out of it and put plastic wrap over the top to seal it, then the tube connects to a vacuum which continuously helps drain it. - roddack, on 11/18/2008, -1/+4awww not a bacta tank :(
- BoneheadFarker, on 11/18/2008, -0/+3If you think the description is gross, try living through it. You'll damn near let them do anything if it gets out of of the hospital faster. Without the suction device, the wound would have taken a year to heal. As it was, the stamp sized wound I left with took 2 months to heal over. Those machine ***** rock...
- inactive, on 11/18/2008, -4/+7yay capitalism! Yay technology!
- jebaird, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2My dark ages doctor recommends blood letting to leaches
- sayoshinn, on 11/18/2008, -2/+4description makes it sound like a leech. a thing that sucks on your wounds...
- resolva, on 11/17/2008, -3/+5Sounds like a lot of difference in treating wounds!
- zip000, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2I wonder what grad student has to wound those pigs.
- RaulMuadDib, on 11/18/2008, -1/+3I can heal faster than Claire Bennet
- 2Bnor2B, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2I wonder if a small ultrasonic transducer placed within the bandage over the wound would do a better job stimulating the oxygen flow and massaging the area?
- ThePerchik, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2This is amazing stuff. My father had giant bed sores and pressure wounds. But this is very similiar to VAC therapy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAC_Therapy - GothAlice, on 11/18/2008, -0/+2I'm waiting for the Mann Systems Series 1001E BioSculpt™ Tank. Larry Mann is the man.
- sockpuppets, on 11/18/2008, -1/+3This is why I walk around with a pocket of leeches. You can never be too prepared.
- notyourbroom, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1But does it ubercharge?
- KeepSwinging, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1Did anyone else think of Phantom Limb when they read healing accelerator?
- Hoogie7Dowser, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1Remember Erika Eleniak? She was hot.
- JigoroKano, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1I complain less.
- pooljoe, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1Cheaper, perhaps...want leeches on my dick, NOPE!
- Burnt2, on 11/19/2008, -0/+1 like indulgently said, we already have wound vacuums in hospitals....they've been around for eons.
dugg down. - indulgently, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1This is VAC therapy. Louis Argenta sold the patent to KCI some time in the 80's. I have been using the therapy for over ten years and even put it on two patients today. It works well but is very old news.
- marcduke, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1I'm not sure why you were getting Dugg down, you're right. Here's just one company who is doing this, there are several more.
http://www.npwt.com/ - indulgently, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1Not sure about the "New" in New Scientist. Louis Argenta came up with the concept of vacuum assisted closure and sold the patent on to a company called KCI. The treatment has been available since the late 90's. The patent was recently challenged and a number of other companies now market "sucking" devices for wounds. I think New Scientist needs a new Researcher!
- palmer, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1'90s, not 90's
- BlatheringIdiot, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1Ya' hear that loud sucking sound from the South...?
