Lisa was diagnosed with Toxic Shock Syndrome in 1997. “I was given a zero-percent chance of survival,” she says. “I was flown to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. They cut open my arms and legs to release the pressure that was building up—it’s called ‘compartment syndrome.’ At first they said that if I did survive, they’d have to amputate all four extremities. The only things I ended up losing were three toes and the tips of all my other toes.” Lisa is now married and working as a registered nurse. She uses leg braces to walk, but otherwise she is totally recovered. She still doesn’t know for certain how she got TSS. Photo by Angela Strassheim

I'm going to use this picture as a big fat fucking I told you so to my girlfriend. Maybe now she'll stop sleeping with a goddamn tampon in her cooch every time she gets her period.

TSS is God's way of telling you not to ram things up your cooch for more than 6 hours.

cut up a towel, get some tiny safety pins, make sure they're pined from the outside, notice your period is two days shorter and three times lighter, stick to ob light if you want to go swimming or have a job, track it, notice that you probably only bleed about a fifth of the time you're "having your period".

I am not surprised she had TSS.. I mean, that's what you get when you let the editors of vice blow smoke up your cunt and tell you you are a firecracker!

Reason #1,274,943,756 why I love being a man:

I don't have to wear tampons that, if left in too long, make you look like you survived being left behind on an Antarctic expedition.

I have the magazine... the first couple of times I saw this picture I was wondering why they put a pretty bland picture of a fairly cute girl in with all the sick pictures. I think I noticed the feet on the fourth time looking at the picture... then I was like "oh fuck!" They aren't all purple in the print version though. Looks like you used photoshop to tint the feet in the web version.

look at that gnarly right big toe. That is nuts. I have a buddy who toed this girl one time when they were hooking up and it would have been way cooler if his toe looked like that dryed up vegetable thing she has.

Its like straight out of a documentary series about survivours of fatal a illness. I like how the surroundings are mondane and how pretty and normal the girl is before you begin to focus on the feet. Good work.
