Surprised they would allow you to see a friends surgery. Many of the tools they use are similar to woodworking tools. I had a skin transplant. The worst part was where the removed the skin for transplant. I was on anesthesia so slept through the whole thing.
Where they removed the skin felt like when you were a kid and fell off your bike skidding on your knees into the next town. The mark looked like someone used a woodworking plane set to deep and were forced to stop and start again. The surgeon said no it is more like a spoke shave. I never knew or asked. It was a teaching hospital. The surgeon was on the list of whos who and had a wing at NYU with his name on it. I never asked. The surgeon made a student, only one there change the bandage while he looked on. My leg looked like a fresh raw steak. I suspect, THAT STUDENT, mis-set the whatever they call a spoke shave and that was the reason they cut off far more than would be needed to cover the surgery created wound.
Perhaps, someone knew you well enough that you would not follow instructions unless they showed you, if you don't we will need to do you soon.
