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.

Uncle's Eye Healed After Corneal Transplant Surgery

imgur.com Report

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.

OP's last post/comment on Reddit was 3 years ago. OP said they were diagnosed with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor, which has a 15% 5-year survival rate. I wish I knew that they were okay and that they made it. Maybe they just changed their username :(

This should have been a hospital visit. I've done this. What they do is take a heated element to put a hole in the nail so that the blood can escape. Relieves the pressure and would have wound up being a lot less painful for you.

Flashbacks to getting my nail pierced on two separate occasions. There is a certain indescribable smell given off when a hot drill bit needle is piercing through the nail that caused me to hurl with a vengeance the second I smelled it. Both times!

Take a paperclip and heat it up red hot, then push it through the nail. Once it goes through the nail, the pain goes away as the blood now can escape. I've used this trick on my cell phone on many patients who would come through the ER after slamming their fingers with an object. The quicker you do it the quicker the throbbing and the pain goes away.

Happened to me as a kid. I tried to hide it. My besties mum saw it. She held me in place and got the clippers and took my nail off then scrubbed all the dried blood away, disinfected and bandaged it, I was so angry. But she was in the right and I'm glad she didn't let me get away with hiding it. I never told my parents, they were pretty unobservant...

Oof, I did that when i was a kid. I slammed my index finger in the sliding side door of a van when i closed it. I remember my mom heating up the tip of a needle and puncturing the fingernail to release some of the blood and reduce the pressure, it felt MUCH better after that.

This was the result of having an arterial line inserted so they could monitor my blood pressure during surgery.

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"

From OP on Reddit: "So a quick overview is that I was hit in the eye with a tree branch and have had 6 surgeries on it so far. My pupil does not adjust anymore so it always looks like it’s extremely dilated and my iris peeled up and is no longer brown but is showing the blue underneath. Also, I no longer have a lens in that eye!" When asked if OP can see out of that eye: "Without a contact, nope nothing, with a contact at power 15 I can see blurred images... like the outline of my hand if it’s close to my face." When asked about their depth perception: "At first it was pretty difficult but I can still take in sunlight and my brain adjusted quite well. I honestly can’t even tell a difference anymore after so many years, unless I close my left eye."

Because I needed to know, even though the image made my spine quiver - from OP on Reddit: "Broken glass at work sliced and separated the front of my thumb from my thumbnail (I'm a bartender) And the Doc decided the best way to fix it would be to sow my thumb right back onto my nail lol. Didn't even know that was a possibility (expected it to be glued) or I probably would've forgone the hospital all together."

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. Some years later I developed a huge ridge on a toenail. It was like the whole nail was wavy. I remember showing it to her in the swimming pool. Turns out I had uterine cancer, but very early stage. After the surgery my nails are normal again. Maybe it was a weird coincidence, but if you develop strange ridges across your nails, maybe go to the doctor.

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.

Nail Damage From Chemotherapy

Nail Damage From Chemotherapy

Thought this was interesting - you can see the ridge on my nails where the chemo damage starts. I finished chemo in June, so this is almost two months of healthy growth.

The ring finger nail is only attached by the small patch at the bottom - the rest is just free. The bruising (?) on the middle nail is mildly uncomfortable and I expect that's the next nail to detach. Interestingly, my thumb nail escaped largely unharmed, except for one large ridge!
