    “No one has any idea” is code for “we know exactly what happened but we don’t want to be sued for malpractice by admiting it”

        Also, Are those screws supposed to be poking out? Doesn’t that damage all the squisy bits?

            I had to intubate patients as part of my clinical time for paramedic, which meant time in the OR. Some surgeons would let us hang out and watch the surgery. Orthopedic surgery sounded like a cross between a construction site and an automotive shop. Die grinders, saws, and power drills.

            Also, apparently knee replacement involves one guy doing MMA submission moves on the patient’s leg while another goes at their exposed, hyper-flexed knee joint with a hammer and chisel.

              This one time, I got to have my femur cut mostly through with a saw then slowly bent (did you know bones are viscous?) open and filled in with bone spackle then bolted together with a plate at screws, which was unpleasant.

              I attended a talk at a conference talking about how we live in a Cyberpunk future.

              The speaker pointed out how we take stims (coffee) jack into cyberspace (put in earbuds to listen to music/podcasts/watch videos) have fully digital travel passes, etc. before then diving into some of the crazy surgeries and treatments that can be done now. It was a pretty entertaining take
