World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I recently learned that debridement is scrubbing the burned area, usually without anesthetics, with wire-bristle brushes, to remove eschar and debris until it bleeds (ensuring blood flow to feed grafts or newly growing skin). May she received quickly and be made whole.
What a terrible day to be literate.
I feel that, to the core. I'm sorry, perhaps I should delete the comment to avoid distressing others?
I firmly believe you made a teaching comment and it should stay.
You never know who it will help.
Thank you. It feels awful.
Unfortunately, sometimes, that is the way it is. It still doesn’t diminish the value of the knowledge.
Thank you. 🫂
I did a job shadow at a PT clinic years ago. That's where I learned that. Just scrape it all off until it eventually heals.
I used to have a manager that once slid out on her motorcycle on some loose sand and got a bit of road rash. The recovery was similar.
Yes, any kind of wound with debris or necrotic tissue. There are other methods, but I would imagine it greatly depends on the depth and extent of the wound and necrosis/foreign particulate matter. I would imagine it's also true of corrosive wounds (chemical burns, of anyone wonders).
I had this done in about 1 square inch on top of my foot for a staph infection I got after crashing my bike. It was insanely painful.
And then imagine this same thing done on 75% of her body. I really hope she makes it and fully recovers and I hope her ex boyfriend rots in prison for what he did.
Exactly.
I'm so sorry, friend.
