Nurse Asks Him To Hold His Breath And Pulls This Out—Try Not To Scream

Nasal packing

Nasal packing is commonly used to control bleeding and provide support to the septum, particularly after any type of nasal surgery.

The gauze has also been used to treat chronic nosebleeds as they have the ability to hold 25 times their initial weight.

He had no idea

The patient in this video was ready to get his nasal packs removed, but even he didn’t realize just how much would be coming out. The footage shows the doctor carefully pulling out the packing by slowly tugging the stitching at the end of the nose.

As the patient squirms in discomfort, the gauze takes a horrifyingly long time to be fully pulled out. As one YouTuber commented, the packing looked more like “long, thick, gunky bloody slugs.”

Gross footage

While the footage may be unbearably gross for some people, just like the wildly successful array of pimple popping videos, nose packing removal videos also have a following all of their own.

YouTuber Canale di tastywest’s nose packing removal video managed to go viral ever since he uploaded it, receiving over 3 million views and counting.

Relieving moments

We can only imagine that getting all of that gunk out of your nose and being able to finally breathe through it again must be an incredibly relieving moment.
