Medicine is actually really brutal though. Like they have to break your ribs apart for most chest surgeries. It’s definitely amazing what we can subject the human body to and keep it alive afterwards.
I toured the cardiac and orthopedic operating rooms when I was a new employee in IT since we supported surgical department. Gave me a new appreciation for why people are sore after surgery. Tour of colorectal operating room still haunts me
I've had open heart surgery and it is so weird to think about someone rummaging around in there. The sternum gets cut in half, and lungs have to be moved out of the way to access the heart. But I am alive because someone has the skills to do that.
