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

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
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.
I had jaw surgery this year and it was incredibly comforting that my surgeon was such a huge nerd about it.
Reddit has r/medizzy for such images. It would be nice to see one around here as well.
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/medicalgoreI'm already subscribed. Just waiting for the day lol
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.
Anyway. Show it here.
I'll take a look.
