Phil laid bare

Medicine as an Art

Spending much time in hospitals does not provide an over-abundance of photo opportunities. However, the photographic evidence of my traumas is here, below, for all to see (after complete maceration in photoshop).

Here’s the result of my first ‘trip’ into hospital

Oil painting of plate and screws

Then all the fun with my eyes. This picture comes from a retinal scan showing how cool my macula looks…

Retinal scan through macula

Problems with my hands resulted in this ultrasound….

Ultrasound of thumb joint

Leading to a diagnosis of terminal marriage…

X-ray of hand

Followed by stress fractures in my foot (pain in red).

Cross-sectional tomography of feet

As the medics considered me a disaster area, they kindly did a full body scan.

Unfortunately I think they may have overdosed me a little…

Post-holocaust Phil

This week I’m heading for the podiatrist, next week my second trip to the ocular vacuum cleaners. Maybe that’ll be the lot for this year?
