May Not Be Suitable for Everyone

Not all viewers may want to see the following picture of an eye surgery so I've sized it smaller than usual (click to enlarge). I debated with myself whether to post this or not since I was mildly taken aback by it and some people might find it a little disgusting. In fact, I decided against ophthalmology simply because I would not be able to do something like this. But this example of strabismus surgery is a gorgeous photograph showing the medial rectus being disinserted following pre-placement of Vicryl sutures. A forceps is grasping the superior pole of the muscle, a speculum is holding the eye open, and scissors are cutting. From an anesthesia standpoint, eye surgeries are on the more boring side of things, but the precision of such a procedure is quite amazing. This image was a Wikipedia picture of the year in 2006.
