Playdough Surgery

The Beakfasteur is a doctor and a mother. She makes anatomical models out of Playdough and other materials to show her little boy (and the rest of us) how surgery is done. In the video above, she does a Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair on an inguinal hernia. No bleeding and no stitches, because it's Playdough! If you'd rather see a cochlear implant, thyroidectomy, cesarian section, gallbladder removal, or coronary artery bypass, she has those videos, too. In fact, you can find a very wide range of the Breakasteur's Playdough surgeries at both YouTube and Instagram. The lumpectomy video shows a Playdough breast, but if you aren't at work, it's worth watching for the child's comments at the beginning. (via Metafilter)
