What do you see here, a knee or a miracle?

A friend of mine had a major knee surgery two weeks ago, and this is how it looks now. Yes, it is swollen and not shaved, and has a scar, but the point of this photo is to show something else - a medicine today. This was a major surgery, and only thing we can see now is just a small scar? I got a longer scar just from a water-fight than he got here. It looks amazing to me that surgeon can use this small opening, and a few tiny holes above, and get all his tools, video camera, lighting, hoses, and who knows what else, and finish the job by wire, remotely and watching on screen to know what is he doing. This doctor must be practicing his mad skills using Xbox controller or something like that. In old times the knee would be opened, everything exposed, and recovery time would be much, much longer.

Just simply amazing, and this is why this is not a picture of a knee but of a medicine miracle.

Медицина дана је стварно чудо. Хирург више и не користи скалпел, него електронске справице којима може да оперише колено кроз мале отворе на кожи док гледа на екран да види шта се дешава унутра. Као да игра игрице - ту стиска дугмиће и помера полуге да би се тамо унутра нешто померило за милиметар. Минијатурне бургије, глодалице и маказе раде посао и када је све готово, остане само мали ожиљак. Стварно је данашња медицина чудо.
На слици можете видети како изгледа колено мог пријатеља Горана само две недеље после једне такве операције. Још увек мало натекло, са ожиљком, али он већ прилично добро хода.
