after finding this thread through the happenings and spending the last day and a half reading through it, its made me appreciate that i live in the era with the marvel that is modern medicine. prior to reading through this i would have never thought that anything like this would be possible. painkillers that work so well that you can dig through to your own bones, anitbiotics that will fight off shit rubbed into open decaying wounds. if someone who intentionally does this to themselves can live through it, the rest of us should be feeling nigh invincible right now. god bless medicine, and fuck this bonkers bitch
