you should see the operation!
its the most violent thing you can do to a human legally.

it involves slide hammer, drills thigh reamers. and something that resembles a round cheese grater to bore into the pelvis.

I love seeing them.
I fucking hate cleaning up after them, though. Tons of stuff to pack and sterilise.

the worse bit is finding the lumps of bone all over the place..
they crack like popcorn when you step on them.

Nice.
I saw a few spinal ops in the last few weeks, they use pliers to snap off bits of the spine to use as bone graft.

'fraid not.
I'm a clinical scientist, I was only there to see the spinal cord monitoring.

Nice.
Don't worry, you won't feel them passing electricity through your spine.
Seriously though, they do a good job.

electricity and spines
never did doctor frankensteins creations any harm now did it.

We've come a long way.
Don't have to wait for the lightning strikes any more, and they usually don't go insane.
Usually.

We have to pay extra for that

We don't seem to get much bone on our floor, now you mention it.
Jez is probably too anal to let any fall.

to be fair,
i wouldnt imagine there was much to throw about on something the size of a cat..
( Azra3l Lubrication Persuasion and Brute Force ™, Thu 21 May 2009, 20:45, archived)

We don't do them on cats, they get femoral head and neck excisions, a pseudo joint forms, and they're grand.
Cats have brilliant bones. We usually do them on big ones like labs and weimaraners.
( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Thu 21 May 2009, 20:48, archived)

psuedo joint?
do the ends just round off or something?

Do you work in this area?
Ever seen a laminectomy?
( Fluzzy namby-pamby pudding and pie, Thu 21 May 2009, 20:40, archived)

sorry, spinal is one of the few things i have never seen.
i have done max fax, cardiac, transgender, plastics, A+E and trauma, and abdominal. isnt laminectomy taking the edges off of a vertebrae?
( Azra3l Lubrication Persuasion and Brute Force ™, Thu 21 May 2009, 20:45, archived)

Yeah, opening up the spine to work on the cord within

( Fluzzy namby-pamby pudding and pie, Thu 21 May 2009, 20:46, archived)

you will be fine..
i have seen the stuff they put the patients in for spinal surgery, you will be locked down tighter than a nuns chuff. where are you getting it done?

only kidding.
there are only 1 or two better places to get spinal done. and they are all trained in the same place anyway, so its all good.
