I said "whoa" a few times while scrolling.

Cool. Somewhere I have a CD with the CT scan our vet did of my wife's little Chihuahua when she had her health crisis. Very weird and cool.

Strange, given the very common diagnoses, that there is not one X-Ray of a dog that ate somebody's homework.

Mine isn't strange enough to get on that list, but interesting none the less:



I keep the email from the Vet in my Inbox at all times to remind me what $3000 looks like.

There is a whole book on human subjects...

"Stuck Up!: 100 Objects Inserted and Ingested in Places They Shouldn't Be"

A very funny collection of 100 X-ray images showing foreign objects ingested or inserted into human bodies, accidentally or on purpose. The human imagination truly knows no limits. Without it, there would be no great art, no advances in science and technology, and no extreme sports. Without it, we’d also be deprived of the many insights into human nature that we get out of witnessing other people do shockingly imprudent things and then try to rationalize them. Stuck Up! capitalizes on this human capability of coming up with creative applications for everyday (and not-so everyday) items way beyond their designated uses, and features 100 X-ray images of foreign objects inserted into human bodies, accidentally or on purpose. “It was a million-to-one shot, Doc.” “My hands were full.” “I fell.” These and many other ludicrous excuses are what emergency room doctors hear every day from patients who check in with various items inserted where the sun don’t shine, stuck in various orifices, or ingested in other ways. How exactly did that cell phone end up there? Was it on vibrate? And is the rectum truly the best place to store your bronzed baby shoes? It is at least somewhat understandable to find a rectal thermometer in its intended place, but how about your six-year-old daughter’s Barbie doll? Start browsing this hilarious collection of images – you’ll be surprised at the patients’ creativity and the medical information provided. And: Don’t try this at home.…

My dog swallowed a sewing needle. We noticed it when she had trouble passing it. A trip to the vet and it was removed without surgery. Quite traumatic though.

Rolando, how would I do that?

I'm logged in on Safari, but not Firefox. So I searched for it on Firefox. For the image, I clicked on "see all images" then right clicked on the popup "copy image location" and pasted the URL in the "insert image url" window.
