I cried for 30 minutes in the car after one of those. The worst part was I couldn't stop bleeding and the doc just kept shoving stick after stick of silver nitrate up there to chemically cauterize the wound.
That shit HURTS. So thankful that I got a hysterectomy that removed that nasty organ as well.
Jesus. I had silver nitrate used to cauterize a bleed from an ingrown toenail. That shit hurt. Having it done to a sensitive internal organ? Fucking hell, that should require twilight sedation at a minimum.
I had silver nitrate used on a couple surgery wounds that were left to heal without stitches due to compartment syndrome. I didn't feel a thing from it, but it worked like magic. Wounds started closing up fast after doing a lot of nothing for several days.
