Thread 2937025

There is another information and videos out there now, you could teach yourself. has anyone here taken up this hobby?

>>2937025 (OP)
I bet you can't even create a sterile field.

>>2937026
There's plenty of information out there on how to do that as well. It's not some kind of hidden knowledge behind a 500k tuition paywall anymore

>>2937025 (OP)
You could cut out lumps and bumps like skin tags, cysts, moles and small lipomas with a simple sterile field, lidocaine, and basic instruments and suture. But like fuck are you going to do a total knee without orthopaedic board certification and an operating room and a device rep.

amateur surgery is based

Fuck around with property all you want but never fuck around with your (or others') health. Objects are replaceable, you (or your body parts) are not.

why not? You think because you have a piece of paper it gives you special powers?

>>2937025 (OP)
Absolutely! Casual surgery is a lot of fun, add a couple of friends and some beers and you have cool hobby for the weekend

Imagine cutting a simple mortice and tenon joint in a piece of oak for the first time, and how badly you'd fuck it up...

Now, imagine doing that to your own femur.

>>2937053
Do you have a device rep for every case? In the UK we generally only get someone in if it's new kit, or new theatre staff...

>>2937225
No, but it shows that you've been trained to a standard where you can independently recognise and respond to variations in anatomy etc to be able to do a procedure like a knee replacement safely and competently...

what the fuck is that

can i learn enough to neuter some cats and dogs in the middle of somewhere so they don't breed out of control

That's a dissected camel toe, anon. They sure look different without all the extra tissue, huh?

>>2937558
i knew it was something like that

One time I watched a guy use what was equivalent to a carpet knife or a grafting knife. He tied the horse to a tree, reached up and cut off its balls. No anaesthesia. The horse stood there and bled all day but eventually got untied and trotted off. I think the hardest part is going to be that no anaesthesia part. I know even with a trained anaesthesiast they sometimes dont wake up from surgery, but its rare. like tf you going to do with a cat? Your best option is to contact some humane societies and see if you can trap them and bring them in. Hopefully they have a situation like Emancipet or feral pet care options. I know Ive found 2 different options. 1 being mobile emancipet until I brought too many cats named orange and 2 through my animal shelter that are happy to help people that will care for feral cat colonies as "volunteer trappers"

I want a otoplasty and it seems like a simple surgery

There's tons of tutorial videos on YouTube of random farmers castrating piglets themselves with no anesthetic using box cutters and shit.
family farms are not humane. This is why I'm vegan
