A few people asked me how I managed to get pictures of my surgery--I just asked my doctor. I told him I was documenting and publishing my journey. He thought that was cool. He and his physician's assistant Karen took the pictures that I posted on Flickr. I imagine some doctors might not want to do this, and some hospitals probably have policies against it (for legal reasons) but Dr. Fournier had no problem with it.
It may have helped that he declined my first few requests: to have a lightning bolt shaped scar, or to make it look like a shark bite. Those requests may have softened him up a bit....

Never hurts to ask, now does it? I haven't looked at the photos yet, but I may. Glad to hear you are home, and bored out of your skull, because that means you will really enjoy coming back to work. Looking forward to seeing you Dan.
I'm totally asking my doc. Though he can be a stick in the mud... youd think a guy who works on guts and butts would have more of a sense of humor.
COMING SOON:
Rachel's Guts On Film... or Internet.
I'm sure I'll have time to upload after surgery. LOL
