When my daughter was being delivered a surgeon asked me if I wanted to take pictures. I said no I dont think I could look without passing out so they took my phone and took pictures of my wifes c section for me. I dont think I’ve ever looked at them

Mannnnn, I would be the same way. That whole seeing people cut open is hard enough. I can’t imagine seeing someone I care about anesthetized, cut open, and then their insides. I rather continue my delusion that their insides look like a mix of their outsides and their personality.

Good lord… imagine getting a little cut on your finger, and you look at the cut, and you see a face staring out from inside saying “HI THERE I SECRETLY HATE YOUUUUU” while a set of toes and genitals try to seep out of the cut before you bandage it up forever. That’s some cthulhu-level stuff, man.
You don’t think you’ve looked at them? Feel like that would registered in the memory bank.

What. Is it like even ethical to suggest? I’m sure doctors don’t ask after a car accident if you want a bloody snuff of your naked partner. I’m sure there are people who are a bit too fascinated with having a child and want everything documented but, ugh, I’d rather forget this generally unpleasant and nervous time for everyone.
For my friend’s C-section a nurse filmed it on her phone. The video was cool, reminded me of Alien.
C sections are pretty cool. Popping the amniotic sac and pulling that thing out is fun to watch. I was a 6’6" 300 pound (192cm, 135 kg) male nursing student standing in on one and the poor woman asked me if I was okay afterwards as if it bothered me. It was very sweet. “Oh no, I’m fine ma’am, how are you!”
Knee replacements can be a little rough to watch with the saws, hammers and chisels like an episode of this old house in the OR, but C sections are alright.
Ethical? Yeah, totally. I can get why you and others may be bothered by seeing a surgery, but plenty of others are not. Ethics has nothing to do with the situation. It’s not like they are letting random people take pictures. The person who is there has already been given consent to be there in the first place. Also, the patient is usually awake during a C-section.
They have given their consent for a medical procedure.
Sharing an x-ray of one’s troubled jaw freely is illegal as it is too personal. And photoes of a bare vag and a c-section are too. Unless the woman is consenting to that.
I’m caring more about the fact that these photoes are fucking grim and even if the consent is there, it’s weird someone would want them.
