    Function over form, I suppose. I am pretty sure it’s mostly made of titanium and silicone.

    It does seems like that sometimes tho, that surgeons are the mechanics of the human body, fixing you up in the most crude ways, as long as it gets the job done.

      Friend of mine who’d been in the room for bone surgeries said it was basically just carpentry. All saws, drills & screws.

        It’s been a while since I watched the video, but I think I remember this guy having some interesting things to say about surgeries. The things I vaguely remember align with what you said.

      That’s the reason a friend of mine once said that surgeons are the only Doctor meds he has respect for.

      Also, what do you mean form follows function? It looks like a fricking mini turbo charger 😎
