A View from the Other Side of the Knife

If only I were made of sterner stuff, I would be all over this site. As it is, just typing this makes me queasy. MedlinePlus has posted videos of actual surgical procedures in the following categories:

Bones, Joints, and Muscles (back, knees, hips)
Brain and Nervous System (includes epilepsy)
Cancers (lung, prostate)
Digestive System (gastric bypass)
Heart and Circulation (aneurysms, heart failure, heart surgery, etc.)
Women's Health (hysterectomy, uterine fibroids)

Thanks to the NLM and the NIH for providing this great service to voyeurs with strong stomachs everywhere. (And for the rest of us, an easy to understand encyclopedia of medical problems, a medical dictionary, and a directory of medical resources, among other information.)
