Post by: GROWLER on April 16, 2008, 08:41:27 AM: Whilst some may find these medical conditions 'interesting', I find them quite disgusting and intrusive.
Haven't these poor buggers got enough to put up with without having a camera pointing at them for our 'peep show' entertainment?

This bloke had VAST warts on his hands… they looked like branches off a tree FFS! sick2:

They wanted to treat him with drugs but he preferred to stay like it and keep his place in a freak show. noooo:

But this other guy went to hospital with a similar thing and they cut all the skin off his hand with the warts on it and then grafted on new skin fr- sick2:
