A pint of pus
Working on the detox ward of a hospital in Glasgow you get to see some sights and hear some tales. There was a sorry period in the late 1980s/early 1990s when some foolhardy addicts took to melting temazepam gelcaps then injecting them. When the gel resolidified (as it was bound to do), it led to some spectacular injuries. I once asked the consultant in charge of the ward what stood out in his memory. He thought for a second, then said, 'There was one time I drained a pint of pus from an abscess in someone's groin.' Ouch. Boke.
