A few days after cutting his hand during a woodworking project and treating it by “pouring some beer on it,” local dad Quentin Larkin has informed coworkers and friends that he finally scheduled a doctor appointment to look at his injury. Despite this, Larkin has not scheduled an actual appointment with an actual medical professional. Instead, he went to his wife and asked, “Does this look infected,” to satisfy his medical obligations.
Larkin’s wife, for her part, responded to the question by saying, “Oh God, yes that absolutely does, go see a doctor, Q, that’s disgusting.”
Larkin, who honestly believes that the question to his wife counted as a doctor’s visit, has not taken that advice, and instead has been treating it by loading the injury up with Neosporin and resting a cold can of beer on it while watching TV.
When asked for comment, Larkin insisted that he is “fine” and that he already “saw the doctor, so there is nothing else I really need to do.”
