[Other] The not so funny pic thread (some NSFL or gore)

"The eel had bitten through the patient's rectum and colon to escape into the abdominal cavity" [...] Surgeons had no choice but to open him up and inside they found the eel—65cm long and 10cm in circumference—still alive.

Apparently, they also found a lemon in his anus which they also removed.
Surgeon: <wielding scalpel in one hand and tiny lariat in the other> "Nurse, I said suction! Yeehaaaw! Come back here ya little wrigglin' varmi...oh look! A lemon!"

There just aren't enough :eek: for this one.

This kinda reminds me of something my dad and I are currently going through. We're both undergoing moderately severe health issues, me with a hilariously high blood pressure, and him with an issue with a valve in his heart. His issue is obviously more pressing, so he's probably going to have an operation later this year or early next year.

But the funny part is that both of us were resistant to going to a doctor and getting help. For both of us, our respective issues didn't really affect our daily lives, so we were just content to let life go on as usual. But the problem is that both of our medical issues can go south very fast; I could have a sudden stroke, and he could suddenly lose consciousness due to his heart not being able to pump blood efficiently.

We knew these things could happen, but both of us were like, "Eh, oh well, if it happens, if it's my time, then it's my time."

We only decided to see a doctor when someone asked us a key question: "What if you don't die? What if you have a stroke and end up paralyzed and bedridden, and your wife or family have to take care of you for the rest of your life? What if you lose consciousness and hit your head and also end up paralyzed?"

And after hearing that, we were all like, "Y'know what, fine, I'll go see a doctor."

Similar idea, I think. Sure, if a truck hits you and you die, that's nice and clean. But... what if it doesn't kill you all the way?
 
That's...basically how I feel every time I go biking. I don't actively try to get hit, and in fact go out of my way to avoid it at every possibility, but I wouldn't be against a driver putting me out of my misery.
I'm not even a driver and that's terrifying.

Pls don't traumatise other people like that.

Also, considering how many people are religious, and even more are at least spiritual, what even makes ppl think that dying will even work to end your suffering ?

I follow the rules of the road and bike defensively at any and all times. If I'm going to get hit, they'll be at fault. And if they're at fault at kill me, I HOPE they're traumatized and never drive again. Fuck drivers who kill cyclists.

I was going more for the intrusive thoughts thing. Even a split second of you not avoiding a car that made a mistake / error when you could have could lead to something, and it's not like there's such a thing as a perfect driver, so we do low key depend on everyone else on the road avoiding each other's mistakes from time to time. It's not always just arseholes driving dangerously.

Also, i doubt that most people would stop driving even if they had PTSD around it, meaning they're just making the roads more dangerous. And the people you're thinking of in that last sentence most certainly would not.
