Secret Surgeon, I need my gall bladder out and the waiting list is long...

Now I understand that operating theatres are so called because people used to watch the surgery? So I'm thinking that I can bung you £300 for a couple of hours of your time to yank the gallbladder and you can keep the revenue from the ticket sales?

We could do it between Christmas and New Year when everyone is a bit bored which would help boost ticket sales and turn it into a sort of PH meet up, maybe everyone could bring food and drinks too?

Happy Christmas chief. A festive song befitting a sawbones.

Thank you, that's brilliant.

Did you know, Thom Yorke had multiple surgeries on his left eye as a child before the surgeons told his parents "sorry, that's how it's going to be, weird and droopy"
Did you also know, Thom Yorke has had no surgery on his neck or hair following the "in the basement" series.

I also give you this, which I've posted before, but is beyond brilliant....



Even if I had an infinite monkeys and cages I couldn't come up with that

Answers to other questions tomorrow.
Thanks for the thread resurrection

Hi secret surgeon

What’s your thoughts on this? Do I need surgery? My physiotherapist stopped treatment as he thinks he can’t do anymore until I’ve had surgery, which I agree with.

Hi dalzo. I'm afraid this thread isn't for personal or specific medical questions. I've kept very strictly to this over the years.
You should ask to talk to a knee surgeon face to face.

I've often thought I could make lots of progress and perhaps some coin from televised activity. Or just audience attendance. There are 5 to 10 youtube channels that I really like where it's just the fella recording his day to day work. I don't watch medical ones though.

But in practice it would never work.
My hospital wouldn't allow it.
The paperwork would be a nightmare.
Patients would change their minds and I'd need a lawyer on retainer.
I don't have time to do the editing. (for youtube)
Most youtubers have a 5 yr arc before the content dries up. So it would be a temporary project.

And whilst I could have a flipping good go at it, I don't do gallbladder, so your plan is a dead end
Its been 18 yr since I did a gallbladder with the Prof (my boss at the time) assisting me

I'm mean, I'd have a crack at it in your local sports centre if you set it up...

Dalzo mate, you need to find a new profession or you’ll be crippled.

Fill the audience with people with dodgy joints, steal the Price Is Right catch phrase “Come on down!” (take your time though, watch those steps). Bit of jeopardy added, spin the wheel for “your operation”, “homeopathy referral”, or “unnecessary cystoscopy”. I see a winning format.

It could be a bit like wheeler dealers where TSS gives us top tips and how to do short cuts when DIYing at home.

Bit late for this year but there's an opportunity for one of those monthly magazines where you build a fully functioning space shuttle if you subscribe to 24 or 36 editions. This one could be teach yourself surgery in 2 years, every monthly magazine comes with a bit of human anatomy to practice on and after a couple of years you can DIY all your friends and families medical issues...
