Re: INFO - The rheumatoid wrist :photos, partly OT

Hi, Stan and ,

Couldn't resist butting in here.(What follows is written with humour,

and no criticism implied)

Yes, even as a medic, (albeit retired) must say those (very

impressive) images did come as a bit of a shock,tacked on at the end

of that article, to greet the eye while enjoying my breakfast cuppa!

Even though a 'bloodless field' as required for such delicate

surgery,had evidently been achieved, the photographs certainly still

fell into the explicit category.

It reminded me of when being warned as medical students to be

careful what page of a medical tome, especially if illustrated

anatomy! we had open when travelling by bus or train, not to shock/

offend fellow passengers!!

Best wishes

My girlfriend, who absolutely refuses to watch a horror movies with me, will

scan through the TV channels and then watch the most graphically detailed

surgical procedures you could possibly imagine. It's the kind of things I

thought a " reasonable " program manager would refuse to broadcast, but it is

cable. Of course, I flee the room in horror, complaining that I haven't seen

Disney's Snow White for years because she thinks the witch is too scary.

Stan,

Seattle, rumors of sun.

That is so funny, Stan! That kind of gore doesn't bother me in the

least. I know its a medical procedure and its very interesting to me

to see the parts and pieces that they are fixing. Maybe that's because

its a controlled environment. Now, I won't watch horror movies either

- that kind of gore is too upsetting to me - random acts of violence.

My husband is a lot like you - he'll watch the horror gore, but passes

on the medical gore all the time. I guess we're all a little

weired.....heeheeheehee.....Doreen

You and Stan shouldn't watch any knee replacement videos I may post in

the future.

Stan,

For me, it boils down to whether the act is being committed for good

or for evil.

A movie like " Saw " or " Scarface " is hard to take, but medical sites or

shows don't bother me.

Actually I don't watch the slasher movies at all, a good horror movie for me

still has a plot and a purpose. Jeepers Creepers was a good movie about a Thing

that comes alive every 70 years and goes after it's victims for a reason. Jeepr

Creepers II was about the Thing attacking a school bus, so I never finished the

watching whole move, it was kind dumb (for my taste). I noticed they are

advertising a new version of Friday the 13th, I think they ran out of numbers

and sub-titles to call it so they're just starting over: Friday the 13th

(again). I've never seen any of them.

Stan,

Seattle, Clear and cold.
