I gained an appreciation for how precise/sharp our tools are when I learned microtomy. If you so much as touch the cutting edge with anything outside of its intended use it messes up that area of the blade instantly. Same goes for a nice pair of chef’s knives.
I’ve had 2 ACL reconstructions, but the first knee surgery I had was a scope. The surgeon allowed me to stay awake and it was freaking awesome to watch the little grinder and vacuum at work!
Some medical tools look crude even at regular size… they don’t call orthopedics bone carpenters for nothing!
I’ve started calling folks taking X-rays the bone paparazzi.
I guess that’s better than calling neurosurgeons spaghetti artists
