I used to read medical reports all day long as part of my job. This included surgical reports for when some implanted joint or such had failed, often for the umpteenth time.
I don't think we are "just getting started here."
Also, my understanding is that Edgar Caycee, a psychic, was the first person to suggest that a nail or screw be used to hold a bone in place so it could mend when it was failing to do so. I find it ironic that this has been so widely embraced by conventional medicine. It was suggested by a guy in a trance and we ran with it and now when you try to point out that it leads to metal poisoning, failures, infections, well, I'm somehow the one not being scientific enough or something.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoWait, are you suggesting that pinning broken bones is a bad idea? Eight months ago I broke my ankle in four places. Today, I can walk with only a minor limp because a surgeon stuck the shattered fragments back together with a load of titanium. Maybe there's a risk of metal poisoning in my future, but I think we can all agree that it's better than a near-certainty of never walking unassisted again.
- Mz 9y agoThe only thing I am suggesting is that intentionally lopping a healthy limb off for a so called upgrade is crazy.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoThen why did you just write a whole paragraph about how internal fixation for broken bones is bullshit?
