According to Dailystar.co.uk, he had been injecting himself both intravenously and intra-muscularly using a hypodermic needle. The man’s back improved enough while he was in the hospital to discharge him. But he opted to leave without having the abscess in his arm drained.
Dr. L. Dunne wrote up the man's case for the January issue of the Irish Medical Journal. The article was called 'Semenly' Harmless Back Pain'.
She called the case an example of: "The dangers of venipuncture when carried out by the untrained layperson and the risks involved with medical experimentation prior to extensive clinical research."
