Drainage of Infected Epidermal Cyst Along the Upper Back

In this video we are draining an infected epidermal cyst in a patient with end-stage liver cancer. I unfortunately refer to him as Timothy (he was registered incorrectly) but Tom was kind enough to allow us to tape this. Regrettably some degree of hepatic encephalopathy has set in which probably led to the confusion when the nurses registered him and also is evident when he's asking questions. This did not require packing and healed up quite nicely.
