    For my friend’s C-section a nurse filmed it on her phone. The video was cool, reminded me of Alien.

      C sections are pretty cool. Popping the amniotic sac and pulling that thing out is fun to watch. I was a 6’6" 300 pound (192cm, 135 kg) male nursing student standing in on one and the poor woman asked me if I was okay afterwards as if it bothered me. It was very sweet. “Oh no, I’m fine ma’am, how are you!”

      Knee replacements can be a little rough to watch with the saws, hammers and chisels like an episode of this old house in the OR, but C sections are alright.

        The fact the best we can do still for some things is just to crack open a being and just start fucking smacking them with a hammer is wild to me. I wonder what things we’ll still be using in the far off future.

          Well it’s just really the orthopod bros that still do everything manually. Like the biggest technological change there could be something like a CNC machine to precisely modify the bones, but they tend to get good results with how they do it now so I don’t mind. And it gives them a good excuse to lift weights so they can keep hammering bones, keeping the Ortho bro stereotype going.
