X-rays NSFW nor the faint-hearted

I bet you all thought it was just an urban myth that doctors and radiologists keep the really interesting (or hilarious) ones to share and show at parties...

( So, you fell on it huh? )

funny, medical geekery, stupid shit people do, anatomy, x-rays

Humanity....there is not hope.

But...how do they get those vibrators out? Do they have a claw camera type thing?

i could tell you, but i think she'll explain it in less "technical" terms.....

don't read it on a full stomach though

Re: Incredible. warsawpact October 24 2007, 00:47:22 UTC

Haha, thank you for the advice. ;)

Ok. In case you're not familiar with girly things, when we have our pap tests, they use this little darling on us. It's called a duck-billed speculum, and is designed for girly bits (you'll understand the underlining in a minute):

Interesting...thank you for the explanation, it seems like it would be quite unpleasant in just about every way. It's still hard to imagine some of those items coming out just using those instruments.

Re: Incredible. ghymoreid October 24 2007, 01:04:36 UTC

LOTS OF LUBE. LOTS.

Occasionally muscle relaxants are involved ... or a general anaesthetic if you were *really* stupid.

Re: Incredible. warsawpact October 24 2007, 01:28:48 UTC

Haha, wow. ;)

So I'm guessing that surgery is sometimes needed.

Re: Incredible. ghymoreids_mum October 24 2007, 02:31:51 UTC

yep.

or you could get a sadist junior doctor like one i knew, who told the patient that 'nothing could be done until the batteries have gone flat".

though the x-ray of the kabana/kielbasa/bratwurst and the pickle fork used in an unsuccessful attempt at self-extraction was certainly tear-inducing

Re: Incredible. warsawpact October 25 2007, 05:18:31 UTC

Hahaha, that's just amazing.

Re: Incredible. ghymoreid October 24 2007, 02:44:09 UTC

Not so much surgery as more stretching than the awake mind can deal with ... and maybe a boy episiotomy.

Re: Incredible. warsawpact October 25 2007, 05:15:57 UTC

Ouch!

Re: Incredible. ghymoreids_mum October 24 2007, 05:56:28 UTC

check out the 'teeth' on the business end of those forceps!

also a duckbill speculum is meant to open up wide enough to allow visual examination, as well as the spatula used for a Pap smear. [and unless your doctor is the sympathetic type, they're COLD!].
they come in a variety of sizes, from paediatric to extra-large. a medical/drug representative friend of mine [now sadly deceased] used to have the whole gamut of them 'flying' up the wall behind his bar. this is the man who left them to me in his will, as well as a hip replacement joint {which makes a great paperweight, though is being eyed off speculatively right now} and 1 {one} silicone boob implant!

there are also different sets of instruments known as 'dilators' for various orifices/body parts. [i'll allow you to look them up for yourself.]

Re: Incredible. warsawpact October 25 2007, 05:21:55 UTC

Haha, wow that's a lot of medical equipment they must have quite the conversation piece. :P

It seems there's a tool for everything now...haha.
