This surgical video is not for the faint of heart, but it is fascinating to watch that little, whirling blade flense away all that frayed tendon and bone. As the possessor of some remarkably cranky back bits, this video compells me -- it would be so boss to just have someone jam some fiber optics and a Dremel tool into my shoulder and just grind off all the troublesome tissue.
About 9 years ago my dad was needing some relief from persistent shoulder pain. After the fun and joys of X-rays and MRI's he elected to have surgery to correct a bone spur that had literally torn the innards of his rotator cuff apart.Link (Thanks, franklinrh!)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
