Agggg!

I've spent all of this week and most of last week taking pictures of people's prostate cancer and analyzing them. I'm going fucking insane!

They do make interesting pictures though. If anyone's curious, I can show you want a very, very up close picture of your organs looks like. Kidneys are really interesting, and ironically the brain is mostly pretty uninteresting, at least visually.

I'm game

Wouldn't posting these pictures violate some doctor-patient confidentiality statute or something?

Also, did you get these pictures by sticking cameras up patients' behinds?

but seriously, what the hell?

I'm too intrigued to lock this.

There are no names attached with these tissue samples, so no doctor/patient confidentiality. This is tissue that has been removed when people had their cancer removed. Either that or they are already dead. In case you were wondering, once the hospital removed something like a tumor, they own it and you have no rights to anything discovered from it.

And no, these are not camera up the bum pictures, they are microscope pictures on a cellular level. I'll post an example in a little bit.

Here's some normal prostate:


Here's what it looks like when it goes cancerous:

But they can sell it to anyone, which I assume is the case here.
