Its alright 'Blue' darlin' - I wasn't that bothered. Before they gave me a set of 'metal' knees, I had to have what they called an Arthroscopy - which involved inserting two probes inside my knees, one of which was a camera and t'other chewed at the rough edges of the cartilege - much like pak-man computer game. The surgeon had set up a tv screen so he could see what he was doing and said screen was in my view too. Again I had had an epidural and was numb from the waist down, but I was fascinated by what the surgeon was doing to my knees.

Re: D.I.Y job
When watching Professor Fitzpatrick the 'bionic vet ' I notice he uses loads of metalwork in the animals he treats as well as stem cells and a special compound that encourages flesh to grow onto the bones and around the metalwork.I think his patients are better served than we are
