If you've ever found yourself watching YouTube clips from Dr. Pimple Popper until 3 a.m. for absolutely no reason, this clip is for you.

YouTuber Brandon Douglas recently ejected a salivary stone from his salivary duct, filmed the horrifying incident and uploaded it, much to the horror of nearly every single person that has since watched it.

Douglas says that the stone was incredibly painful, but extremely relieving once it passed. Regardless, we're equally horrified and amazed.
