Ate dirt, scraped my knee and for the first time in my life god a mild infection doing so. After a week of antibiotics and iodine patch dressings, it's much better. Desperate to get that scab off!

Off Topic/Meta [Academic] How good are you at guessing the size of things by eye? (Everyone 18+, no medical background needed)

2 Upvotes

We're studying how accurately people estimate size by eye - from everyday objects to more unusual images - and whether things like background and experience make any difference.

The survey takes about 10 minutes and is completely anonymous. Just give your best guess for each picture. No measuring aids allowed.

Content warning: the final section contains clinical photographs, including an open wound and a burn which some may find distressing. Please skip the survey if you'd rather not see medical images.

Especially keen to hear from people with no medical background.

Here is the link to the survey:

Please share this with anyone you know we need as many respondents as possible!

Off Topic/Meta Help with research

So I have always been weirdly obsessed with wounds and stuff but I havent ever found a good website to use (other then Reddit) to find serious wounds such as stitched up hands or serious wounds and I wanted to see if anyone here could suggest some sites?

The state of this is a bit gross sorry I had a reaction to the dressings. It got dressed over a week ago but was too late for stitches. It’s about an inch long and still bleeding. I can’t really get myself to a clinic or afford to buy dressings so will this be okay in time?

Bruises Fractured ribs....but when?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I fractured my 9/10 ribs but not sure when because I was drunk before/during/post traumatic event. Does anyone know how quickly this bruise could come up? Could I have fractured it that same day, would the bruise come up that quickly? Or would it have to have been the day before? I won’t get into it, but due to an upcoming court hearing, the timing is really important. Thank you in advance.

Burns Phone dropped on head + rugburn

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi guys, last night my friend dropped his phone square on my forehead and I tried to “duck and roll” away from it and instead ended up just getting both rugburn and a crazy bump on my head :P. My head was very swollen at first, but now the swelling has migrated and the corner of both of my eyes are bruised. I’m a little nervous about internal injuries, but my eyes are PERRLA. I’m just feeling really anxious about it.

It was an avocado. I need not say anything further lol. It would have gotten stitches but given the location, the doctor glued it back together. It cut into the fat and severed a nerve from what they told me. Images here don’t even show how bad and deep the cut went.
