Re: 13 Amazing Trauma X-Rays
Great post Sadakohere. Excellent images,man you can always tell shotgun pellets on a radiograph . Some of those fractures looked painful . The Dildo is a classic . We had two men come into ER one night when I was working in x-ray with a simular problem. Shot an x-ray and sure as hell the boys had lost their toy up one of their backsides. The x-ray was perfect in image quality except there was motion blur in the image because the dildo was still turned on LOL. Everyone in the department got quite a laugh out of that. |
