gross indeed

I started work today. for today at least, work equaled reading all day. including some orthopaedics texts. they all had pictures of fractured arms and dislocated elbows and stuff. I do not need to see weird protuberances sticking out of someone's forearm. they should have warning pages before you get to the picture pages. so to avert my eyes from the pictures, I kept reading the captions (gross appearance of posterior dislocation of radial head; gross view of inflamed olecranon bursa; other similarly riveting titles) and thinking to myself that it was nice that at least the authors concurred with my assessment: those pictures are nasty.
