    The gauze packing sounds like surgery for sinusitis, not a deviated septum. My brother had that done like 20 years ago and he still talks about having trauma from the pain of having it all removed.

    Apparently it is borderline torture, and medical practice and technology has advanced to where nobody should be doing that anymore.

      As someone in the room for entertainment emotional support, I had a really difficult time not laughing at the absurdity

          Exactly. Can you imagine trying to be comforting and supporting to your spouse recovering from surgery when you have that image blaring in your mind?
