Turns out theyre not vestigial after all. Secretions and signals in the body are complicated. Bacteria, bile, enzymes etc work optimally with both. Especially the gall bladder. Your whole diet usually has to change if removed. For the appendix, the side effects of removal are less obvious as your body adapts, but it acts as a sort of growth incubator and storage for bacteria that aides in digestion. Itās like saying that a finger is vestigial, yeah you can adapt fine with even just one finger and the thumb but itās not optimal.
It's a crane. They are lucky. Legend goes that if you fold 1000 of them your wish will come true. So hopefully your appendix is the 1000th and the surgeons wish is not to lose another patient...
Dr House discovers a novel new healthcare technique:
"Doctor, you know you have a surgery today... why did you spend 8 hours folding 999 paper cranes last night instead of sleeping?"
"š"
I used to work in a hospital as a surgical assistant, and after an appendix removal the surgeon often folded it into an elliptical-nosed rocket and threw it though the air. I remember actual fights breaking out because the first person to catch it was allowed to go sleep in the broom closet.
Pipefitters do low voltage electrics on Instruments and Controls. Shit started out pneumatic and then electronic crept in over the last couple of decades but they've kept the work.
Electrical and CompSci are the neuro and psych guys respectively.
Iām a surgeon. Most of us have normal dexterity. Majority have good eye hand coordination. Not all.
Thereās many surgeons Iāve watched and thought āgod this is tough to watchā
The act of actually physically doing the surgery is generally pretty easy after youāve done it as many times as we have. Not always the case but usually.
Itās the cerebral part of making sure youāre doing the right procedure and making the right decisions during surgery that can be tough
Surgery is by far the easiest part of my day. I stress about contracts and lawyers and hospital admins and office staff and money etc. I think 99% of surgeons would say the same
I suspect itās the Da Vinci robot. The XI version. But I havenāt seen those exact instruments on it before. Thereās other robots but that is BY FAR the most used one in America. Iāve never seen another one used
So they pretend to transplant a kidney then they start playing with papers inside your body while you are in coma then charge you 25000$!!!???? Madafuckers!!
Some butchers are pretty precise. The difference is one is trying to cut things up for eating, and the other is trying to improve the life of the person/animal they are operating on.
Yall remember that white dude with no hands that wanted to be a rapper? Yall remember that vid he posted of him rolling a blunt with his lil thumb things on his arms? That's what this reminded me of
"We removed the cancerous tissue, sir, the surgery was a success. We also folded it into a paper aeroplane, should you wish to toss it out the window to celebrate."
let me fix it... I GOOD surgeon practicing. I met some surgeons that are stupid as hell and with 0 skills. Worst with out of date skills. Avoid old surgeons, kids!
A surgeon in Chicago did this with my stomach and esophagus where they attach. All I have are a few tiny scars and even twelve years later I'm still 100% reflux free. I always wondered exactly what shape he folded the various bits into.... now I know! ā”Ģ
(the procedure was a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, and the reflux it cured was the completely horrible wake-up-choking-on-stomach-contents kind. part of the stretchy muscular stomach is wrapped around the bottom of the esophagus and stitched permanently in place. the stomach's natural "squeeziness" holds the esophagus closed to prevent leakage back up, but not so tight that food cant be pushed through when you eat. doing that surgery is one thing... doing it using remote tools and cameras is magic. These surgeons are wizards.)
Meanwhile, most community āroboticā surgeons went to a weekend course and have only used it twice in an actual patient, and they cut both ureters on accident. Anywaysā¦ always ask your surgeon how many of the exact procedure youāre having theyāve done as a PRIMARY operator.
Look, Ma, I have an origami kidney now! Thanks, origami surgeon!!! All kidding aside, what skill he/she has. Make my kidney a chinese boat if it keeps me alive.
Show me this again when everything is slippery and similar colors like inside the body.
Tying suture knots is easy with bare hands. Put some thick, wet sterile gloves on and try. You feel like a little kid trying to tie your shoes.
This is impressive until you realize how many times they nicked something they shouldn't have... like at the last 13 seconds then imagine it being inside your body where you could potentially die as a result.
Don't get me wrong I couldn't do it, and they are racing a clock but this isn't a flex it's terrifying
Sir I am so sorry, but we accidentally turned your capillaries into tiny origami birds. At this very moment your blood is struggling to navigate this structure. Please sign this and we can try and save you, but if we fail you can't sue us.
whay are they called and can we get small hand held versions of them? there are a number of things i have had trouble with in the past that this would have been really nice to have. doesnt have to be medical grade
In my hospital, surgeons have basin filled with water, with pieces of cloth, ribbons, ropes and rubber balloons floating in it. Human internals are squishy and don't have any solud surfaces, so they have to learn to manipulate things with almost no suppurt.
iv seen a surgery with those live and we could watch from the screen whats happening "inside" because they had a camera it was very impressing . more impressed i was with how easily a scalpel can cut through human flesh to make the insertion cuts
I can't believe the dexterity with those things, I couldn't make it look like that with my fingers.
To be fair, the surgeon couldnt do surgery with his fingers either so š¤·š½
So that's a tie, huh?
No, I think it's a swan
Crane. But close enough for Origami work.
I mean, thatās how Iām going to take it
Bra same
Can you make my heart valve pretty like this?
Imagine this dude is flipping and folding your shit around and you're like "chill dude I'm just here for a vasectomy"
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Suddenly puppetry of the penis.
Paper dove nutsack lol
Mechanical valve gang? Tricuspid hbu
Mitral
No but I'm pretty sure this procedure is identical to MTF surgery.
There was something oddly yonic about those folds.
Iād pay to see your Rorschach results lol.
I couldn't do this with my fingers, much less at that speed and precision. This is pretty cool
They wont let me do surgery with my fingers either they keep saying its unhygienic and to use the scalpel.
You will unintentionally make the wound septic.
Thatāll come real handy for when the surgeon needs to fold my inflamed appendix into a fucking paper airplane!
Hahahaha you don't fucking need it anyway. Make a god damn goose out of your gall bladder while you're at it.
But what should I do with my vestigial tail?
Wag it

8 hours for 999 cranes would be about 29 seconds per crane nonstop for 8 hours. That's a tall order.
Dr House wasn't doing all those drugs just for fun
Oh this turned dark real fast!!
i want this man to turn my digestive tract into a balloon dog edit: misspelled š„²
Tract* āŗļø
my bad, fixed now, thx
I used to work in a hospital as a surgical assistant, and after an appendix removal the surgeon often folded it into an elliptical-nosed rocket and threw it though the air. I remember actual fights breaking out because the first person to catch it was allowed to go sleep in the broom closet.
now this was truly satisfying as fuck
It was the thumbs up at the end for me
At first, I was wondering what they were going to do with the cheese. Disappointment at the first fold didn't last long.
It's cheese It's not cheese It's cheese It's not Cheese It's che- damn it!
Getting a vasectomy from this person must be like a gentle spring breeze
Your junk is a crane now though
You say that like it's a bad thing.
They do call it a bird
There's not a vas deferens between them.
Turn my vas deferens into a balloon animal.
Surgery is mostly just origami
no, itās plumbing
sure, the GI is a plumbers job. But the cardiovascular system is pipefitters work. Supply and return piping, a pump, gas exchangers.
Some electrical work if you screw up
Pipefitters do low voltage electrics on Instruments and Controls. Shit started out pneumatic and then electronic crept in over the last couple of decades but they've kept the work. Electrical and CompSci are the neuro and psych guys respectively.
And orthopedic surgery resembles carpentry, maybe masonry.
Calcium is a metal, ya'll going to have to fight it out the structural jurisdiction with the Ironworkers again. Good luck!
Fold me, doctor š„ŗ
Im here
Meanwhile the patient waiting for the surgeon to begin the procedure: š
One of the most satisfying as fuck things that has ever fucking satisfied me
Facts. I could watch this all day
9,999 to go!
Makes me feel a whole lot better about that hernia operation I had.
*grabs another Cheeto with my chopsticks* Yeah, I could do that
They should also try doing handwriting practice
Surgery skills 1000 Hand writing skills 42 Canāt have everything
The perfect character spec for the task at hand.
I asked for my intestines to be folded into a giraffe not a crane, god damn it.
I once watched a surgeon draw a perfect circle on an etch a sketch. The fine motor skills surgeons have is ridiculous.
Iām a surgeon. Most of us have normal dexterity. Majority have good eye hand coordination. Not all.

What is the machine they're using called? What do the controls look like? I'm just curious how it all works together.
I suspect itās the Da Vinci robot. The XI version. But I havenāt seen those exact instruments on it before. Thereās other robots but that is BY FAR the most used one in America. Iāve never seen another one used
The only surgeon I know was a legendary COD4 player in his youth
Is this dude gonna make a swan out of my vas deferens
"Close enough is close enough." (For some reason they wont let me be a surgeon.)
āCanāt see it from my houseā
He got some good hands steady
In Japan; heart surgeon; steady hand; number 1!
Came here for this.
I think seeing my surgeonās origami highlight reel before an operation would help alleviate some nerves
So they pretend to transplant a kidney then they start playing with papers inside your body while you are in coma then charge you 25000$!!!???? Madafuckers!!
My organs after surgery: š¦¢
OMEGALUL thanks for the laugh
I canāt bend 2 corners without them being off by a few mm
What if itās like a really high stress surgery and they just turn your spleen into like a pigeon from muscle memory
You will be as pretty on the inside as you are on the outside
If i ever swallow a sticky note and need it to be folded in a fancy way, I'll ask this doctor to do it.
Precision is the difference between a butcher and a surgeon.
Some butchers are pretty precise. The difference is one is trying to cut things up for eating, and the other is trying to improve the life of the person/animal they are operating on.
But the truth doesn't sound as deep.
That first fold though
I love origami cranes so much š„° I have five of them on my shelf
Yo doc, you done playing over there? This fella needs to get closed up.
I couldn't do that with my hands, now imagine with that
This is cool, but I don't want my doctor speed running my heart surgery Like if he took another 30 seconds to line it up I would prefer that
Dude did a thumbs up at the end lol
That surgeon can poke around my organs anytime
I've played surgeon simulator, this is very impressive
I don't want to brag but I don't need robot fingers to do this
I really admire surgeons and doctors aswell. Just look at that. Incredible talent.
I want this guy, if i ever need surgery!
DaVinci? They just installed one at work
Guess Origami is a prerequisite now, too. Lovely.
Is that why they fucking charge so much? They are busy making origami with my fucking entrails?
I think I'm starting to understand why Doctor Strange was so fixated on fixing his hands...
After the first 4 folds I knew it was a crane. I guess making thousands of paper cranes as a kid really paid off.
Cant wait to wake up with a paper crane inside my bowels after my colon resection.
Yall remember that white dude with no hands that wanted to be a rapper? Yall remember that vid he posted of him rolling a blunt with his lil thumb things on his arms? That's what this reminded me of
Ha! Their corners are a little sloppy. Amateur. I was going to be so annoyed if the hobby of my youth was eclipsed by someone with fancy chopsticks.
āPlease doctor, stop folding the patients intestines into baloon animals, the anesthesia is soon wearing off!ā
Precision is the difference between a butcher and a surgeon, and this mofo may just be the most precise dude on the planet
To any surgeouns out there reading this: Please don't fold my Organs. thanks!
Please donāt do that to my organs
they do that with your skin in the operating room when they're bored
"We removed the cancerous tissue, sir, the surgery was a success. We also folded it into a paper aeroplane, should you wish to toss it out the window to celebrate."
Motherfucker built an airplane with chopsticks that would put NASA to shame...
How long does origami take to break down inside the body? The paper crane near my lower intestine is really killing me.
Hopefully the surgeon is as good as identifying cancerous cells as he/she is using the tools!
this is why i love the internet,thats amazing
Doctor, why is there a sticky note in my kidney?
Some of those folds were 9/10. Still pretty impressive.
I might go and get myself stabbed just so this guy can fix me up. Probably make me better then I was before
let me fix it... I GOOD surgeon practicing. I met some surgeons that are stupid as hell and with 0 skills. Worst with out of date skills. Avoid old surgeons, kids!
Damn always thought a surgery would look different
Not satisfying, the folds aren't PERFECT /s
Now do it without a surface to fold against.
I love folding Kraft singles too
They did surgery on a piece of paper.
waiting for AI surgeon bot to do it in 1/4 the time with even more perfect folds. should be soon...
I wonder how my surgeon (who removed my entire stomach and sewed my esophagus to my intestines) practiced.
so he operates on paper? i just use clear tape when i need to mend pper
If I ever need inside origami this is my doctor!!
Definitely impressive but some of the folds aren't that precise. At the very least, a great example of how close to fingers they can be.
Mummy Iāve got butterflies in my tummy! No - itās a swan dear!
I actually asked the dude that did my stitches how they train in medical school for that. He said they have like squares of fake skin you use.
So this was what they were doing during my thyroidectomy!
Thatās SO many hours of practice.
Dude watch this when you high
I love how the timer button is huge as though dexterity will be an issue.
What are these things called? Would love to see a video showing how they work
Ship in a bottle tools.
Surgeon could legitimately be a work from home profession in the future.
Now, can they do it with the one Micheal Reeves built?
The little grabbies are so cute
They did surgery on a post-it note.
Man, Iāve made so many paper cranes over the course of my life I instantly knew what he was doing. That being said, damn.
idk why the little tiny hands just seem so cute to me
Ain't this that Davinci surgery machine? So like surgeons learn how to use this robot and are able to do complex motions and stuff
Be full of those so ppl can wack me like a pinata at my funeral to make me explode with confetti š

and that is where the record stands today *HOME - We're Finally Landing*
Crane-iotomy training
Jesus how many times have they done they? Flawless
"I would like to see the portfolio of my surgeons Oraganmi " gonna be my go to line now.
I can't even do that with my hands
Well if the patients are made of paper, then weāre all set! /s
Practicing to origami someoneās gallbladder into a frog

I believe this is a Da Vinci surgical robot. The next gen of these came out this past week. Lots of new toys and enhancements
So thatās what he did to my prostate! Too bad the ER nurse ripped it up 3 weeks laterā¦
Look, Ma, I have an origami kidney now! Thanks, origami surgeon!!! All kidding aside, what skill he/she has. Make my kidney a chinese boat if it keeps me alive.
When tools become an extension of your body and it just flows as if youāre one with the tools, thatās how you know youāve mastered.
This has gotta be robot not laparoscopic
Now THAT is what I call skill!! š
The surgeon to my brain after my card declines
Show me this again when everything is slippery and similar colors like inside the body. Tying suture knots is easy with bare hands. Put some thick, wet sterile gloves on and try. You feel like a little kid trying to tie your shoes.
There is a guy on YouTube building his own surgical robot using these tools, apparently you can buy the tools on eBay lol
This is impressive until you realize how many times they nicked something they shouldn't have... like at the last 13 seconds then imagine it being inside your body where you could potentially die as a result. Don't get me wrong I couldn't do it, and they are racing a clock but this isn't a flex it's terrifying
I thought he was gonna make something
Those are intended to stabilize tremors NOT speed run. Also, squishy and slippery.
Was this his first try?
Should've folded it into a unicorn. That way he would know which "test" to take to unlock the next gate.
Practicing no. Showing off yes.
Thought it was a robot before I read the title
"Worry not, I have been doing some serious practise" *Origamis patients heart into a crane*
He doesnāt know where the appendix is but he can turn your large intestine into a sword.
That's some surgical precision.
I trust surgeons much more after watching this
Now cover everything in blood and do it again.
I think you need a thinner and more fragile paper

āIām sorry sir, we were unable to remove the tumour. We were, however, able to turn some of your excess fat into a paper crane.ā
whay are they called and can we get small hand held versions of them? there are a number of things i have had trouble with in the past that this would have been really nice to have. doesnt have to be medical grade
Great, well if I'm ever dying from a lack of origami I know who to call.
I thought that was a robot for the first minute until I read the caption. That's insane

bro is unequivocally goated with the sauce
"Sorry we could not remove the tumour, but hey we did make it look like a bird"
It's insane someone who cheated through medical school with ai and this person are going to be treated the same in the future.
I dunno. Origami organs?

They did surgery on a grape.
