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.

My second child had two (!) real knots in his umbilical cord. Midwife insisted on CTG throughout the whole birth and showed us afterwards that heartbeat dropped to almost 0 during contraction. At one point, they were in a hurry to get him out with vacuum extractor and three people pushing on my belly. Everything went well, luckily (thank God for modern medicine and hospitals). Third kid had (only, haha) one knot in his umbilical cord. We tell them that they obviously loved to swim while there was enough space. Fun fact: kid one was breech baby, C-section for safety's sake--I asked the doc afterwards if there was anything visible that would have meant danger (as some say..."sometimes there's a reason"). There wasn't.

Well upside I guess you could make lots of ‘Marty’s fun private time’ jokes. As a burn survivor myself, this kind of skin graft must be a pain in the bum to manage
Crescent 3 1 year ago
Any US law student or lawyer should remember the case of Hawkins vs. McGee. It is a standard-setting case in the area of contract law and how to determine damages. A man who had severely burned his hand went to a doctor who knew very little about skin grafts, but promised the man "a 100% good hand" after the procedure. Sparing the gruesome details, suffice to say that it was a VERY botched skin graft. Since the harvested skin came from the patient's chest, the intact follicles continued to grow hair on the now-disabled hand. Generations of lawyers and law students know this as "The Hairy Hand Case." This was in the 1920s and truth be told, although he won the case, the plaintiff got royally EFFED on damages.

Blood From A Vein(Top Bag) And Blood From An Artery(Bottom Bag). Your Blood Is Just Darker With No Oxygen In It, Not Blue
john doe 1 year ago
The modern belief that blood is blue before it comes in contact with o2 comes from how medical texts diagram the circulatory system, the effluent blood that goes to the cells for oxygen are transported by veins they are diagramed as red, the influent blood that has offloaded its o2 is taken back to the lungs in arteries they are diagramed as blue. So people have seen that for decades and it just kinda became "common knowledge"

How Chemotherapy Affect Nails

A friend of mine had kidney cancer, after it was removed she told me that she had weird ridges on her fingernails for quite a long time. After the cancer was gone those ridges disappeared.

Always use the sides of your fingers!! I used to teach diabetics- the pads have too many nerve endings.
Papa 1 year ago
My fingers looked similar to that when I worked as a beekeeper. After developing an immunity to the venom (or whatever the technical term is) bee stings would be invisible 30 minutes after the sting, but would reappear as a tiny blood blister a day or two later, and then gradually fade away. My hands looked like they were freckled.

Turned out I had an allergy to steel if it came in contact with cartilage.

Nicole Linscott 1 year ago (edited)
This looks like x-linked ichthyosis. My 8 yo son has it and his skin is perpetually dry. He is missing a piece of a gene that codes for an enzyme that helps dead skin slough off. So essentially the dead skin just piles up and doesn't fall off forming this scale look. It is always worse in winter. We have found that Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Cream Gel is the only thing that actually leaves his skin moisturized for a chunk of the day. Everything else he still looks dry with in the hour. We use to slather his body in vaseline and put a full body onesie on him when he was first born (so uncomfortable seeming) and he would be so dry a minimal amount of time later.

The Bruise On My Arm Healing After K-Tape
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago (edited)
K-Tape doesn't "heal" muscle or joint injuries, though some people try to get you to believe it has special properties. It works as muscle/joint support and can also help with scar healing/stretching. It really sucks if OP got injured/hurt further by using it when they were probably led into believing it would help with some other issue.
HTakeover 1 year ago
Completely off. OP is an archer using a heavier poundage bow. They used the KTape to help reinforce their elbow from popping out of place, and to give a little extra padding & friction guard to the forearm to protect against the bow string. Bruise is a result of the bow string slapping the forearm. The K-tape made interesting patterns while protecting against friction damage & supporting the elbow.

I have been like this before and boy do I feel for this person. As far as I know I'm not allergic to anything. Probably about 6 years ago, I first broke out in just a couple hives on my lower back, for the first time ever. I got the hives shortly (less than an hour)after getting into a very emotional and stressful fight/argument, but didn't think much of it, at the time. Since that initial break out, I suffered through some very awful and painful hive break outs, over large portions of my body, most of the time. I should have invested in Hydrocortisone cream, haha, even though it didn't really help much that often. It didn't take me long to figure out that these huge,raised and extremely itchy/painful things were caused by or induced from extreme stress. I was initially prescribed an EpiPen but I no longer have one because I don't think I need it for my particular situation. I hope OP got better quickly.

An Octopus Bite Wound

Wow, I always thought that an octopus would use all its arms and suction cups as it's first line of defense, so to speak. Idk, I guess I never thought about the possibility of being bitten by an octopus while in the ocean. If I happen to disturb one somehow I thought maybe they might release ink, as a warning sign or wrap a tentacle around me, or pretty much anything other than bite. I'll have to remember that, as I frequent the ocean 3+ months out of the year. I feel like a bite would be a last resort thing and since it's on OP's hand, makes me wonder if the octopus was provoked or maybe OP picked it up because their beaks, which is what they use to bite, are inside the center of their bodies. Either way I hope OP made a full recovery.

My Toenail Grew In Extra Thick During My Pregnancy Then Abruptly Stopped Growing Thick Once I Gave Birth To My Son
Brandie Litchfield 1 year ago
Pregnancy and giving birth are both very traumatic to a woman's body!
Marie BellaDonna 1 year ago
I mean, it can be. But this isn't a result of any trauma. It's just from hormones. When a woman is pregnant, her hair and nails grow thicker and stronger. After she delivers, her hormones go back to normal, and so do her hair and nails. It's why a lot of new mothers lose a butt load of hair. Because they didn't lose any, during pregnancy. Pregnancy was the only time I could grow my brittle nails out long, lol. Granted, this is an extreme example. But still natural. Not traumatic.

i thought i was good for stuff like this but goddamn, i had to pause for like half an hour after every fourth image and wait for the light-headedness/queasiness to subside. too much eye and finger stuff!

I lost my bellybutton during abdominal surgery. I'm now an alien or a clone, I think.

Did anybody note that since scars don't have pores and don't secrete oil, dirt doesn't stick to them? I can't remember if I saw that in any of these pictures.
