Tea? (Part 2)

[coffeejo]

If you were given the opportunity to observe an autopsy (not of someone you know, obviously), would you?

 

[coffeejo]

I would. I've culled and prepared poultry and rabbits, which I always find fascinating, and I think the human body would be even more so, especially if the pathologist was good at explaining what they were doing.

 

[coffeejo]

By the way, I'm not squeamish........and have seen quite a bit of blood at various times - some of it my own, I should add.

When I was 18 I was run down by my own cousin - I think he was messing about. I was in a real state - nothing broken but huge lacerations on my legs and arms with blood everywhere. It didn't freak me out tho'........but I still have the scars

Suddenly very, very tired.

Cheese on toast with beans for supper [missed tea as we went to see Despicable Me 2 at the Metro Centre ] ... + have to sit up for 2 or 3 hours to let it settle. So plenty of time to fall asleep in front of Boston Legal Series 4 DVD!

Oh yes, fascinating! Except eyes. Can't do eyes.

We've been on a ride to the pub, where we had a substantial dinner of pie:

Back for a relatively early night, we're both tired, and we've got another ride tomorrow, which is dependent on the weather and fitness of participants, and may be anything between 2 and 25 miles...

(Like Colin, I couldn't do the endoscope in any direction though )

I have had the endoscope through the 'No Entry' sign. It started off interesting to watch on the screen but then I felt very under the weather and wished I had been sedated. It took me quite a while to get over it afterwards. Not sure I could manage an endoscope at either end, without sedation, now.

If you were given the opportunity to observe an autopsy (not of someone you know, obviously), would you?

A part of me would say yes as I think it is absolutely fascinating. I certainly would have done when I was much younger but not now. I think realistically, given I have a phobia of dead bodies, it wouldn't be a good idea.

Anyway, it was a nice ride out to the pub with a large crowd and a variety of bikes and trikes of many types, four Bromptons, a Greenspeed trike, an ICE trike, two Street Machines, two tandems and a range of other bikes.

I've not killed anything (except the occasional insect/bug) but have prepared whole poultry and fish for food. I am ok as long as I only think of 'it' as food and don't let my mind stray towards thinking of the food as a once living creature that had thoughts and feelings.

I really should just be a vegetarian.

 

[TheDoctor]

I have killed the odd creature. Last one was a frog that had been run over in France.
Its back end was completely flattened and it was making a fair amount of noise - clearly in pain.
So I clobbered it and then nearly threw up.

Nope!

I don't even like watching surgery on TV or anatomical photographs.

I found a huge anatomy textbook in the university library and flipped through a couple of pages and saw things that made me feel sick.

When I was a teenager, I put the TV on once late at night and when the set warmed up there was an attractive naked young woman asleep on a table. Or so I thought. I carried on watching ...

Before I realised what was happening someone got a saw and cut her open from pelvis to throat. I was very deeply shocked. Apparently she had died of a drugs overdose and this was her post mortem, intended as shocking anti-drugs propoganda. It certainly shocked me. I had nightmares about it for weeks afterwards.

Mind you, I watched so many bad horror films as a teenager that it probably wouldn't have occurred to me that it wasn't fiction.

Trimming all the beech hedges today... hate that job.

 

[Arch]

Have a cuppa first, put it off a bit.

 

[TVC]

Archie, I knew you were a bit posh, but I didn't realise you owned your own beach. And why did you plant a hedge on it?

 

[Archie_tect]

It obscures the view of the nuclear power station.....
