What are the common mistakes in DIY medical horror stories?

A frequent horror story involves people treating fractures on their own. For example, someone might try to set a broken bone without proper medical knowledge or equipment. This can result in the bone not healing correctly, leading to deformities or chronic pain. Also, home - made remedies for skin conditions like eczema can go wrong. People might use ingredients that they're allergic to, causing the skin to become inflamed and itchy all over.

One medical DIY horror story is when people try to extract their own teeth at home. They might use improper tools like pliers, which can lead to broken teeth, severe gum damage, and intense pain. And there are also those who attempt self - surgery for minor skin lumps. Without proper sterilization and surgical knowledge, it can result in infections that are hard to treat.

There was a case where someone thought they could stitch up a deep cut on their leg by themselves. They used regular sewing thread and a non - sterilized needle. As a result, the wound became horribly infected. The redness and swelling spread rapidly, and they finally had to be hospitalized to deal with the sepsis that developed.

A very frequent DIY plumbing horror is not shutting off the water properly before starting a job. Then when you start working on a pipe or a fixture, water sprays everywhere and causes a big mess. Also, using the wrong type of glue or sealant is common. It doesn't hold and then you have leaks all over the place. For example, using regular glue instead of plumbing - specific adhesive for PVC pipes. It can lead to major problems down the line.

Sure. One horror story is about a person who tried to extract their own tooth at home. They used pliers and ended up breaking the tooth off unevenly, causing intense pain and bleeding. It got infected later and they had to go to the emergency room.

Sure. People have tried to remove moles at home by cutting them off with scissors or knives. This is extremely dangerous as they can't ensure proper hemostasis and it often leads to excessive bleeding and a high risk of infection. In addition, self - treating eye problems like trying to remove a foreign object from the eye without proper training can scratch the cornea and potentially cause permanent damage to vision.

Inaccurate cost assumptions are also a big part of DCF horror stories. Sometimes, the DCF model doesn't account for all the costs associated with a business. A manufacturing company might not factor in the rising cost of raw materials over time. So, the projected profit margins are much higher than they will be in reality, leading to a misvalued company according to the DCF.

A frequent error is overwriting data without realizing it. For example, when someone is in a rush and they start typing in a cell that already has important data. Also, problems with sorting and filtering can lead to 'horror stories'. If not done carefully, it can mess up the order of data and relationships between different parts of the spreadsheet.

One common mistake is lack of market research. Just like in the example I mentioned earlier, not understanding the target market can lead to disasters.

A major error in 'cfd horror stories' can be improper domain sizing. If the computational domain is too small or too large compared to the actual physical problem, it can cause problems. For instance, if the domain is too small for a flow problem, it might not capture all the relevant physical processes, leading to wrong results.
