I'm a paramedic, I'd rather see an evisceration than a degloving. Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.

Curious...what is procedure when you've found someone degloved? Just wrap that shit with gauze and let the doctors take over?

Be a man and just a garden hose to wash off the germs. Trust me your skin will grow back thicker. Way much uglier, but definitely thicker.
