“My Eye Is Gradually Losing Its Color”: 50 Interesting Human Body Pics

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

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.

the scar on my knee and scar on my right hand never get dirty, tan or change color with temperature. they arent very vision until the color of my skin changes. ive done a color run before so ive went thru the same thing as the color run person. my scars were effected by the dye. while scars do mean the would healed depending on wat caused u to get the scar depends on just how much needed to b healed. deeper the wound the more visible the scar is. its just tissue that grew over the wound. its take a long time for a scar to match ur skin color. most of the time it doesnt change cuz the would was too bad. the scar on my back is like that. its very noticable. its from a botched mole removal. its honestly looks like a gun shot wound lol. not only is it very pale but its rised up. dirt doesnt stick to that one either

My toddler sliced my cornea with her fingernail doing a "look at my new dress" twirl. Wore a patch for weeks. Later developed the worst case of conjunctivitis known to man, with my face looking like a losing prize fighter, and my eyes balls swollen so badly I had to tape my eyes shut. Jesus, that year sucked ocularly! I now flinch when anything comes near my eyes. LOL Tauma!
