"debris" - a few weeks ago I had some of the that in my leg after I impaled it on a stick.
My GP dug some of it out under a local anaesthetic -- ouch muchly. He didn't get it all, so I spent six nights in hospital with 2 sessions under general anaesthetic - second for a skin graft.
It's pretty good now. The graft donor site has 'healed' sufficiently to not need a dressing (it looks pretty angry, but apparently that's normal) and I'm hoping I can lose the dressing on the wound site next week.
My GP apologised for not sending me direct to ED, but given the stress our hospitals are under I doubt I would have gotten the prompt treatment I did get without his detailed referral including xrays, ultrasound scans etc.
For a change the antibiotics I was given (oral and injected) didn't give me the shits.
