Direct from the OT.

The following will be received with un-adulterated precision. A common thing for a doctor and a normal thing for a biologist, especially a Physiologist like me. With the advance of mobile cameras, such pictures come to our social community network, thanks to some very good doctor friends, in their pre-matured era of being a Doctor!

The picture that is shown below is that of am amputed leg, with the pale white "bow" shaped article being the joint region of the femur with the lower bones of the legs. That region resides within the sinovial joint, protected by the patella. This is the terms that a common tenth standard can understand!!! The amputation is done by means of Gollitine [hope the spelling is right!] method.

The objective of the article is not to mention discuss about the ethics and whether one should publish such pics in the social networks or open forums like Blogs. I write this in support of the ideaof having a colour X-Ray directly from the table of the surgeon. Such images may be too tender for the people with weak heart, but seems very interesting.

One should understand that these are the things which only a doctor can handle. A commoner would faint! So before beating up a doc or destroying his clinic or public healthcare properties, one must think. Its hard to do so in the face of atrocity and I am not denying that people are there who cheat the public, but not all. I have known a few friends and a sister of mine, who are all MBBS students, who will never be "witches and zombies" to earn money! They have a good hand and a very good heart and this article is in support for them, and a warm greetings to them and also [too much and] a token of thanks for the support that they have always shown to me!

Enjoy the picture:
