Wasn't flaming you 24601. I hadn't read you profile and did not know you were a medic. Wouldn't have called you a wanna-be doc. I would have changed that to calling you a CRAZY FRIGGIN MEDIC!! LOL

I owe you a beer... or is it wine my lady?
BTW- you were probably not picking at a piece of necrotic tissue... it was probably the blood clot that had hardened on the top edge exposed in your mouth. If you had gotten it out to soon, you would have experienced the great wonder of PAIN called a dry socket. OUCH
