A&E doc stuck a cream on it which oxidises over time (turnign it black
- he was very careful to point out this was normal and didn't mean the
wound had gone necrotic) which caused _instant_ relief. Quite amazed I
was.

Ahhh, Flamazine... (silver sulfadiazine) It's the silver that goes
black. I don't think it's used as much now as in the past.

Oh yes. That was it.

This was only in errr 1999 - hospital in coventry somewhere.

Is there something better now?



In Coventry....?? No...


How right you are. I had to work on the outskirts for a year or so on
an industrial estate. Before joining I thought it may be a problem
that I couldn't get into the centre of town easily.

The best thing about that location turned out to be that you couldn't
get into the center of town easily.
