Ever watch a surgery video? Is it me or do they seem really violent when they shove their hands and tools into holes cut into peoples skin...eww....was watching mtv and they had some breast implant thing and ehh...i dont think ill ever look at boobs the same way...well mabey in a week...
 
Watch that stuff all the time...have seen a couple in person. I work for a consulting firm and have been on site at a hospital since 1997. I've seen many surgeries first hand and a ton of cath procedures done from very close up. Really cool to watch.
 
I've seen quite a few surgeries. Back surgeries, knee, eye, internal organ, even brain. But the weirdest I saw was a breast enhancement experiment. The doctor inserted and inflated the implants via the belly button. The camara was at the woman's feet pointing up. It was the weirdest thing to see one boob grow and have the other not do anything. Then the doc stopped pumping and there she was with one big boob and one little boob. It was funny, but eerie at the same time. :Q

/me shivers

ew.
 
I can't watch that sorta stuff, ugh, creeps me out. Meanwhile my mom works in open heart surgery, hehe.
 
On 'C' band...a channel was in the open that showed operations....

Let me tell you, I'm REAL hard to gross out but the hip replacement was TOO much! They used a bastard file. They used a drill! They used Black N Decker for god's sake! Even a crow bar and a mallet!......I've seen beef roast that got better treatment!

The face lift wasn't much better.......:disgust:
 
I have seen surgery and watch the nurses dispose of the suction jar. Depending on the procedure it can be bloody and chunky.
 
In the event that I get a cornea transplant (looking more & more likely) I intend to ask for a video.

I'll capture it & post it here.

i will be added to some heart surgical procedure protocols that will take place in about 3 weeks 🙂

have already sat in to see, but this time i'll actually participate
 
i love watching them! the only one i couldn't watch was a jaw reconstructive surgery... they put some kind of wedge type thing in the person's mouth and used a mallet on it to break the jaw... bleah.
 
I'm a big sissy when it clomes to blood cutting on someone etc Therefore I can't stand to watch for more than a minute.

If you like it you should go into medicine I think.

 
yeah i saw the MTV thing a while back. never liked implants anyway, but this was just more reason not to. plus it was so sad how the girls hated their bodies.
 
I've had surgery done on my chest while I was awake... That really sucked, not too gross though.
 
Oh yeah....I love 'em. I use to watch the ones on TLC for awhile...seems like they aren't on as much any more though.. 🙁

My favorite was a complete knee replacement surgery. It was amazing the stuff they have these days. They literally made a new knee that was actually better than the original...cool stuff.

🙂
 
I watch them all the time on cable.


On time I happened to tune into one that had been going on for a while for facial reconstructive surgery. One surgeon told the other to peel the face back. Well, all it was attached by was a small piece at the chin and suddenly all I was looking at was skull and the guys face was on his chest. Freaky.

 
I saw a video of a woman giving birth (uncensored) in 8th grade. EIGHT FREAKING GRADE! WTH was the teacher smoking!?!??! 😕
 
I did this line of work for about 5 years; 5 - 6 days a week, 8 - 12 hours per day.

It looks worse than it is. Ok, so it is as bad as it looks, but the body is rather resilient.

Some tissues you don't want to be unduly rough with, such as liver, bowel, or nerve tissue. But everything else is pretty tough and resistant to injury. Being overly delicate will not necessarily result in a better surgical outcome, but it can extend the length of the surgery and consquently the risks associated with anesthesia. Surgeons train for this stuff for years and become adept at balancing technique with speed.

As for things like hip replacement surgery, well, there's just no easy way to go about that kind of thing without hammers and chisels and power tools. Bones and joints are strong as hell.
