Back surgery, and first shot with the 50mm

but when do you draw the line on censoring yourself?

My gf stops when she sees achne "eww... that stuff is gross"

For some, adam's scar is gory and "too much"... even though I think it looks beautiful. (congrats on it healing nicely... knocks on wood)

Then you have stuff like other med procedures. Gory... to an extent. Humans are nasty...

Then you have a friend of mine... and his physiology lab. 20 something cats before he got the first one to survive his operation. Is that too much?

First aid falls right there with gunshot wounds.

I dunno... I'm not pushing or anything...

But this stuff actually happens to people... and it's better for you to know what to do when it happens and be prepared. Because if you expect someone to look like an anatomy textbook when something happened and you're the one giving first aid...

Anyways... I had a nice instructor in First Aid

Something you have for life

Hi Doc,

Where do you draw the line... at the point where the damage/hardship it causes outweighs the benefits you get. Seeing a compound fracture so that you kno whow to deal with it is one thing and is usefull to a first aider, seeing what happens to a body when it meets the pavement from ten floors doesn't do 99% of people any good, most people wont have to bag the bits up, so why lose sleep over something that you wont gain anything from...

FYI i've been a first aider for 12 years and have dealt with everything from a broken arm to a skull fracture crossed with a partial scalping (kid on bike no helmet meets tree). My point was that there are some things you just dont need to lose sleep over.

Best Wishes

Yeah while I appreciate Doc's kind words, I too think that might be a little too much for your average browser to handle. He did put a warning on it... at least next time he puts a warning people will pay attention

But I agree that there really isn't any educational value in something that extreme unless you're a criminal investigator or coroner.
