While not everyone is cut out to be a doctor, millions of people around the world are happy to live vicariously through the lives of doctors and nurses by binge-watching medical dramas. “Grey’s Anatomy” has clocked over 3.2 billion hours of streaming time globally. Let’s not forget the popularity of “House”, “ER”, “Scrubs”, and “The Good Doctor”.

Viewers stay hooked, even if some parts make them want to look away. Watching medical science in action can be intriguing, and at the same time, disturbing. If you get sucked into hospital shows and are fascinated with the workings of the human body, keep scrolling.

Bored Panda has scoured the depths of the internet to compile a list of really interesting photos of the human body. From extreme close-ups of skin, to the effects of chemotherapy on nails, burns, bruises and even eye transplants... There's something here for anyone who has a morbid fascination with health and healing.

    Medical dramas have become hugely popular over the years. Maybe we like watching someone else’s pain and suffering. Maybe we see doctors as superheroes. Or maybe we get a kick out of witnessing chaotic scenes play out in an operating theater. At least one doctor believes it’s because we have a morbid fascination with nature.

    In particular, “our own amazing bodies, and all the things that can go wrong, but that are thankfully not going wrong for us in the moment" said Dr. Marian Rissenberg during an interview with Bustle. Rissenberg is a New York-based clinical neuropsychologist.

    "I imagine that on some subconscious level, we cannot help but be intrigued at seeing something so socially unacceptable and morbid," said emergency medicine technician, Dr. Sonia Shah.
