sorry for the extremely delayed response!

i had my gallbladder removed. my mother and father were terrified, but i would have been content to stay there all summer long, with my cartoons on the TV and the morphine just a push-of-the-button away.
the stuff not only numbed the pain, but it actually makes you feel happy. for a few minutes after, i would just lay there and smile. did you?
hmmm.... maybe i can mysteriously contract some sort of kidney infection and have one of those removed......

my favorite part of being in the hospital for surgery was the morphine injections every 2 hours.

^ how right can somebody be!?! I only got 4 or 5 during the week I spent there, but it's true, those minutes afterwards were the bestest moments I have had since a looong time! what kindof pains were they sweetening in your case?

btw...excellent shot....the gloves and white scissors & basin, the sheets, the untanned popo area (shaved of course)....

^ now me and good old mistah primmsler are trying to teach you german since almost 4 years and still you dont know what a popo is? omg! the popo is the backside part of my midsection, the part *not* visible on this pic and it doesn't need to be shaved anymore since the day when spito epilated it (with his own teeth!)

I think thats why i like this one the most actually-because of the flash..it seems to go with what your documenting-and i like its composition too..The hospital photography job is random!!-was so excited when i saw it advirtised- the job would be to document in the accident dept..so documenting wounds and all the other gruesome things that come along with it... its to keep a record and also should they need images for legal reasons..thats as far as I know anyway...our NHS is crap though-havent got enough money for nurses, doctors and equipment but get the photographers in!!.loving it!!

^ love it too! now if you get the job, you just HAVE TO convince them that the only medium for these kindof documentations is polaroid!!! keeping my fingers crossed for you (and for us ;-)

love this pic -it went straight to my favs..i have an interview to be a hospital photographer soon-i shall look at this in preparation...:-)

^ thankyou for the favlink, Kristel!! I'm glad you like the pic, though I personally don't like this one so much cause of the flash, I like the colors and shades of natural light shots much more.. but had no choice in this case.. you got an interview as a hospital photographer? jeeezus, what kindof job is this? you really got "hospital photgraphers" in britain? what do they photograph? why? please tell me more, this sounds intriguing. anyway, good luck for the interview!

yes, those morons in doctor-dresses suck. i once took a picture of my arm as i got a venipuncture, and the bitch of a nurse called the assistant medical director who then interviewed me half an hour why for christs sake i had taken a picture of my arm during the venipuncture, if i was gonna make it public, etc.
i told him that it's just for private pleasure, that i'm intrigued by blood and also do collect small flacons with red liquids and similar substances. he got quite irritated, i think he didn't believe me.

ps.
very impressive pictures, as always.

^ lustige story anitjechen, but please don't call nurses bitches. doctors, yes maybe - but nurses, nevah! they are heavenly angels, no matter what. -period-

Ouch!
Ouch!
OUCH!

^ my personal nightmare-ouch is yet to come .. when they'll remove the stent from my ureter - allegedly this doesnt hurt too much, but the idea to pull the 26 cm out all the way through my bit less than 26 cm without anesthesia makes me sweat in anticipation...
