I thought that this was a very cool blog post. I was scared in a few parts because I was cutting a body! Learning about the leg was really cool. I didn't like putting the metal into the patient. I was worried about all of the cuts I was making on the patient. After I finished the surgery with a working bone. I was too afraid to look at the real pictures of surgery because of all the blood and parts in a real human. I shouldn't become a surgeon because I am way to nervous to be cutting into people and seeing blood.
This was a very interesting game. It was kind of creepy in some parts because I was slicing through someones hip and their gluteus maximus muscles. It was kind of disturbing to use tools to makes holes or cuts into people. And to use staples to close their cuts at the end! What was really gruesome though, was the pictures of real hip surgery. This activity though, was actually pretty fun, in a little disturbing way, of course.
This was a cool game. It was fun completing the various activities, but it also was a bit scary cutting into a human. This made me realize that a) I will probably never be a surgeon. If the animated pictures were too scary for me, I probably couldn't handle the real thing. and b) Humans are gross. If you think about it, we are basically animated sacks of fluid.
I like this but it was disgusting opening up the leg. I thought it was strange to use staples to close the incision. I did like that it was a realistic representation of what actually is done during a hip replacement surgery.
It was interesting to learn about the different parts of the leg. I was scared too, Jenna, don't feel bad!! It was weird that they used staples. It was a very interactive presentation and I hope to learn more about it. Don't look at the pictures!
Whoops. Accidentally submitted! Wanted to type more:
I don't typically enjoy looking at blood, but I do like learning about the parts of the body. Other than the pictures, this was pretty easy to look at. The pictures were creepy! I shouldn't be a surgeon because I didn't get two steps right until my tenth try! If I do become a surgeon, I will stand in the back of the room, or just help out, not actually operate on the guy. This was cool and weird at the same time because I've never really been that interested in cutting someone's hip, but my dad has a torn labrum in his hip, and I have some surgical ideas... This "operation" was interactive and very weird to experience because using staples and a hammer to fix a hip does not strike me as the typical tool set. What I really didn't like here were the tools. They were not very accurate in size or shape compared to the actual surgery pictures on the slide in the video. I really hope that there are more videos like that out there and there will be something more to do with the hip and the rest of the human body, and maybe it could work for other parts of the body, to have surgery in a more efficient and harmless way.
This article was very cool and gross at the same time. I thought I did a pretty good job, but I do not see this as a career! In the end, I realized that doing all the surgery is going to help someone live a better life. It does not seem right to put metal inside of someone's body. I got really scared looking at the inside of a real person's hip. (BTW DO NOT LOOK AT THE PICS!!)Once getting past the gross and disturbing images, I thought the activity was very informative.
I think this was a very informative game. Putting metal into someones body at first did not sound like you should do, but then I realized the surgeon put metal devises into their body to help the patient. It was interesting and gross that you have to cut open so many layers of muscle and skin, also pop blood vessels (eww). Just to get to the actual bone, and finally start replacing the bone. Overall, I thought this game taught you a lot about the process when doing surgery.
I liked this post. It was interactive, which was interesting, and now I know how a hip replacement surgery happens/the pre-testing, finding the right sizes to the machinery replacing the actual hip, and all that. Like Ayden said, it is gruesome, and now I don't think I want to become someone who does that. It was scary that they put staples to hold up the fixed part of the body. Now I'm motivated to take good care of my hip.
This was a really fun game I think. Like Jenna, I was nervous about cutting open a person's hip, and I thought it was weird that we stapled the cut together at the end instead of stitching it.
It was very interesting to play the game because the hip prosthetic was very fun and easy to put into the hip and replace. I did think that stapling the hip skin or flesh was a little gruesome because why not stitch it instead? I think that the reason why is because the stitches aren't that strong and they would snap and rip which would cause the patient a lot of pain. I thought that the questions were a little confusing but I guessed and I got all of them right. It was pretty fun and interactive. I thought that the game would teach people and motivate them to be people that transplant hips and fix them. This game can persuade someone to become one of the people that fix hips. I thought overall though, that the game was fun and I would definitely do it again.
I agreed with every one about the level of gore, but it does give you a warning. What I wanted to know is why people need to have a hip replacement. Some story beforehand to tell us what happened would have been nice, because it would give you a better understanding of what forces people to have hip surgeries.
As for Brandon, the reason that they use staples is because they want the body to naturally close the wound. Stitching is used when they don't think they body can do it on it's own.
