Are there any communities here where I can share NSFW medical images? (lemmy.world)

I got pics of my foot during surgery and pics of it a week after the operation. I'd love to share it with people and discuss how neat the human body is. I don't want to subject people to it who aren't interested in it, though.

You could post it to !medicine@mander.xyz, but please tag it as NSFW and keep the discussion focussed on the medical aspect of the procedure (it sounds like that was the intent).

This is a community for medical professionals. Please see the Medical Community Hub for other communities.

Official Lemmy community for /r/Medicine.

Also note that it's only recently become the parallel community for r/Medicine, and there may be people subscribed who aren't medical professionals and may not appreciate it (they may downvote it).

If you do find more medical communities then please share. I'd like to add them to the post on the Medical Community Hub

How goes the healing? The body is wild, a few weeks back I removed a dressing from a foot with 2 amputated toes, tendons, muscle, fat tissue. The whole lot was right before my face, it was amazing. Two weeks later they were walking out the door to go home, with no issues at all

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The healing is going very well. I got my surgery on Oct 30th. I'm in a lot of pain still, but I have a chronic pain condition, so I'm not surprised I still hurt so much.

I got a Maisonneuve fracture in my right ankle/leg I got a screw on the right side of my ankle to reattach a bone. I got a plate and two tightrope devices on the left side of my ankle to put my syndesmosis back together and to get my tibia and fibula back in place.

My surgeon seemed super pumped that I got this type of fracture. Apparently you have to twist your ankle in a very specific way to get a fracture like this. He told me all about it and he was so enthusiastic. He got even more excited when I asked him to take pics of the inside of my foot because I wanted to see it.

His enthusiasm has made the experience less terrible lol.

Surgical tech, here - those types of surgeons are an absolute blast to work with, and tend to be the most skilled.

You got a good'n!

I'm glad you're healing well. I broke my foot earlier in the year in July...lis franc injury, but mild enough that they decided not to do surgery for fear of fucking up with the tiny foot bones (I got a lot of little breaks at the end of the bones which are nigh-impossible to put screws through without making it worse), which seems to have been the right call as I'm walking on it 4 months later.

I absolutely loved the doctors that got all excited and doctory talking about stuff! With me, I ended up with some of the history of lis franc injuries, which used to be common for soldiers on horseback, as they'd fall from their horse and get the midfoot stuck in the stirrup, breaking it.

I also had an unrelated small skin biopsy, and my surgeon was happily chattering away about doing it by hand so I don't get weird skin flaps by the punch, and how the little cauterization tool worked. You know, as I lay there with bits of my flesh burning, lol.

Nerdy doctors are cool.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That's so cool! Thank you for sharing!

[–] Kom@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's fantastic when you get someone like that, it's so rare to be able to geek out over the medical stuff and not scare anyone lol

Glad you are healing well, chronic pain is such a bundle of sticks. I hope something is found and works well to keep you comfortable

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you. My psychiatrist found out I've been depressed lately because of everything when my mom mentioned it during her appointment yesterday. I didn't think I needed seen because this situation of mine is temporary. The doctor immediately scheduled an appointment for right then. He upped my antidepressants and prescribed a medicine that should hopefully help with the nerve pain. I ended up crying like a baby because I didn't realize how bad I've been emotionally. The nerve pain medicine should hopefully help me sleep as well. I've barely been sleeping because of my leg.

[–] Kom@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm so glad you have fantastic support around you. Pain is something I'm forever telling the folks I care for to not put up with, even if you feel it's OK just keep up with the pain relief. You might think everything is "normal" without even realising how bad things have gotten.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you. I definitely didn't realize how bad shit is until my appointment.

[–] indepndnt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I had jaw surgery this year and it was incredibly comforting that my surgeon was such a huge nerd about it.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 6 points 1 year ago

Reddit has r/medizzy for such images. It would be nice to see one around here as well.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There seems to be !medicalgore@lemmy.ml , but it's empty so far.
There's no description of the community, so I am just assuming it's same as r/medicalgore

[–] vivavideri@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm already subscribed. Just waiting for the day lol

[–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

idk if nsfw is allowed on .ml

So, I can't imagine a workplace where you would share a x-ray/ultrasound/CT/mr/PET, where you'd invite people to see it, and the people who showed up could get you in trouble with HR.

Just ask.

There's nothing prurient about it unless you have weird motives.

It's like showing Netter. One of the classic human anatomy books.

If you do anyone remotely scientific, there should be no problem.

Just be aware, the camera may add ten pounds. The CT scanner seems to add a lot more.

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Anyway. Show it here.

I'll take a look.
