The "Umm" Factor

[Pacion]

Do you/can you watch programmes on television showing surgery - whether it is "drama" or documentary?

Up until recently, I couldn't. I would always look away or look through my fingers. Now, I seem to have a fascination with it all :oops:

There is a programme on now where the surgeon is performing heart surgery on a 60/65 year old lady, it is her fourth operation. For a moment, it looked as if she was not going to make it but she came through! I dread to think of the pressure the surgeon must have been under which wouldn't have been helped by the television cameras.

It really is amazing!

Hmm, well I don't watch TV anymore...but back when I did I was fine with watching such shows.

I did however, watch a documentary on a woman's breast reduction surgery, and it was quite graphic throughout the entire operation.

I was so sad after seeing it though! Such a beautiful gift given by Venus should never be reduced in size! :oops: :oops: :oops:

Eeek! Those real life operations! I saw one where a lady was having liposuction. Horrid! *shudder*

I'm not into watching operations on TV etc. I don't think I have much time to do it usually, anyway. :)
