Have you seen any of your internal organs?

To start the ball rolling, I have seen my fallopian tubes

I've seen the shavings of bone that were taken from the backs of my kneecaps... delightful!!

I've seen a catheter being pushed from my groin to my heart, and watching it wriggling around on a screen.

JanH · 01/03/2005 17:44

I had a bone scan once - they injected (?) something radioactive first - so I saw my bones. I think. Well, sort of. (Memory is a bit hazy!)
