Jeff: that's debride, not debreed. In theory they are removing matter from your wound that is infected or will prevent healing. I had my left arm burned pretty badly (WP) and went through it.

They can also do it via a whirlpool bath. That doesn't hurt nearly so much.

I have this framed in my living room:

"In the career of glory one gains many things; the gout and medals, a pension and rheumatism. And also frozen feet, an arm or leg the less, a bullet lodged between two bones which the surgeons cannot extract. All of those bivouacs in the rain and snow, all the privations, all those fatigues experienced in your youth, you pay for when you grow old. Because one has suffered in years gone by, it is necessary to suffer more, which does not seem exactly fair." - Elz�ar Blaze, Life In Napoleon's Army

Larry's experiences with the VA pretty well track those of mine and my friends.

Any of you who are naive enough to think that single-payer health care is a good idea should ask a veteran or a Native American about how government health care has worked out for them. Their answers will horrify you. Government-run health care is worse than the worse thing that you can imagine.

Probably not the right forum to start a discussion about these types of topics

The dermtologist, Dr. Bennet, removed the offending growth and sprayed the wound with some kind of polymer solution that promotes growth and
now it's two weeks later and there's no scar tissue, and the area is now new skin and looks great. I don't remember it ever hurting and as
a matter of fact it didn't itch much either. It worked out just fine. The VA did it right this time.

My parents and now I have found Medicare quite good. I have had excellent results with the VA for hearing, orthopedic, and gastro issues. Yes there are horror stories about the VA, Tricare and Medicare (all Government) but there are similar stories about most any health care system. Incidentally all of the European countries with single payer health care their people all live longer than we do in the USA. I agree this is not the forum to discuss so this will be my last post on this subject.
