fsv fsv Junior Member Registered: 08/11/06 Posts: 56 Loc: Michigan	This is a plastic surgery office note. He gives extremely short notes so I don't have much information, but this is a wound check on a finger and he says: s/l "boo-lay" are taken down once again. There is some pinkness to the tip of the finger. I've tried boule, boolay, etc. and haven't had any luck. I would appreciate any guidance you could give me. _________________________ FSV MT for 4 years Nursing student

Somehow I'm just not picturing it... And leave it to Tang to come up with Most Obscure (But Useful) Info Ever Found Online (and then throw a couple of ferrets into the mix to make it interesting): Quote: "...a beer poultice, by employing warm porter-dregs or strong beer as the fluid; and a carrot poultice, by using the expressed and evaporated liquor of boiled carrots. Spongio-piline costs about one farthing a square inch, and may be obtained of the chemist." _________________________ Those who can laugh at themselves shall never cease to be amused.

Perhaps FSvee's doc is a long-lost cousin of Dr. Chellis. My mind went to this being a barista involved in le freak bagel-slicing accident where she loses the tip of her pinky. Tip and pinky are sandwiched between two frozen mammo d'poulet and she's whisked off to hospital for reattachment. Later in the office, Dr. Serge detaches the beignet splints, takes down the boulette serving as padding, removes the creme brulee granulation tissue to see that it's pinking up nicely and approves her for zee Workmen's Compette.

And on the second wound-check visit, Dr. Serge fell hopelessly in love with the Barista, took down her dressings right there on the exam table, and they all lived happily ever after. $\:\)$ _________________________ Those who can laugh at themselves shall never cease to be amused.
