Wwwhhhhhyyyyy? Seems like a bit of an odd place to start.

I have a friend who used to do photography in NYC before she got sick....She might be able to help you get your foot in a few doors in your interested.

My wife would have killed someone to be your assistant so she could watch the surgery.

Too bad it wasn't a porno movie shoot. You might have got to try out the fluffer.

In surgery, doctors are basically just tradesmen, cutting here, honing there, pushing here, hacking, sawing, screwing, sewing.....you get the idea.

It's just another job site.

With a slight difference. There are no "take backs" or "Redo" buttons you can push. Worst case scenario, you simply pull down that part you build badly and rebuild. Make a mistake in surgery and you might not have that option when the patient dies and the relatives sue.

it was crazy how its done. The surgeon has a special guide for his drill and tap the he places on the bone then hammers into place to guide the drill and tap for instillation of the screw. I saw the hammer and I was like what is he going to do with that...then he starts hammering directly on this guys spine.. .ayee

That's great Joe! I wish I'd had some of those opportunities when I was your age. We do a little shooting here at work in the labs and testing facilities and we have to get dressed in those Tyvek "bunny" suits.

Man, that gets hot after a couple hours!

A......gee, no kidding??

I would venture that being an M.D. beats being an $8.00 an hour idiot in a cubicle with a headset in a bank call centre. LMAO!

Even if I was a call center worker it's certainly more noble than pretending to be something that I am not....like living in Cracker Barrel parking lots begging for free wifi you know what I mean.


Stick to spatula's and garden weasels and F350's that you call a Motorcoach, that's like calling a C-Class an S-Class.
