Do you have what it takes to be a knee surgeon?

Mon Feb 12, 2007 5:51 am

Do you have what it takes to be a knee surgeon? Want to find out now or have your dreams of saving lives dash?

Try now in the virtual simulator: http://www.edheads.org/activities/knee/index.htm

As for me ... I think I'll become a doctor tomorrow. Anyone here want free knee surgery? I also do special friend rates.

I made it to cordorizing the veins and couldn't do it anymore. :( I have a weak stomach.

I did this thing last night and found it quite interesting. I had no idea that knee surgery was so intensive (And that it took so long). Very cool.
I showed it to a friend who wouldn't do it because he felt it's nature was unpleasant.

I tried it! It was fun, although my friend was sitting next to me going "Ew... Eww... Ew..."

I didn't think it was horribly graphic, though... Although maybe it's because I played through Trauma Center on my Wii recently...

Gave me the heeby geebys sawing through the bones though!

Now I can finally perform surgery without killing 100% of my patients!

I knew I was doing something wrong.

*goes to play with the virtual hip surgery*

ETA: yay, now I can do hip surgery, too! :D

Why pay when I can do my own? :P

That was kinda interesting. I'll have to show my dad when he gets home -- maybe I'll do surgery on his knee. lol

Oh, come on. Anyone who can play "Operation" is already fully qualified to be a surgeon. This stuff is just for showoffs.

meh.
that was nothing compared to dissecting a cat.
trust me, an ACTUAL bone saw sounds much worse than a cartoon one.
It was really fun though, because my mother just had a total knee replacement ^^
so... am i the only one that did every single other activity on that site too?
i have a fever... and the only cure is more surgery simulation! :o

Haha, I'm in the process of doing them too! The hip surgery one froze on me though :(

My niece found that and had my sister send it to us. Me, my mom, and my dad watched the whole thing. XP

I did that and looked at the pictures, too! That was actually pretty fun.

That was pretty cool. :)
