Guest Post: Phil Jean on Self-Harm

Self-Embedding – The New Cutting

Most people know that “cutting” has become quite a problem for many teens. But now radiologists are being accosted with a more extreme version. Welcome to the world of self-embedding, where young people are cutting themselves to embed objects deep into their bodies – even through their bones. Staples, paperclips, nails, pencils, glass, plastic, needles [...]
