This should be a res ipsa loquitur image, but the anatomy is so distorted that I'll point out it is the xray of the hand of a man who was holding a mortar firework when it exploded. He underwent surgical amputation last summer, endured excruciating phantom limb pain 24/7, became addicted to opioids, and finally obtained relief from peripheral nerve stimulation. Details at the Wisconsin State Journal.
I have traditionally reposted the story of Jacqueline Saburido on New Year's Eves. Perhaps I should post Ben Shortreed's hand film every Fourth of July.
