  • These were probably originally drawn from organs pulled out of cadavers and sketched or drawn while laid out on a table.

    When we think of organs we think of them all separate like we see in books instead of the truth that they are all jammed together with no open space to see.









  • Realize you aren’t going to be happy all the time. We live a life that sometimes sucks. Our grandparents, our parents, our siblings, and our friends die. Choose to remember the happy times you had with them. Go do things you like to do, remember those times when shit is bad and know that you can make more happy memories later too.

    Find happiness in love, from people, from pets, maybe even your children if you choose to have some. Make others happy too if you want because happiness is better when shared with others.







  • This is from the doctors clinic that did my vasectomy.

    Open-Ended Vasectomy Technique

    Our doctors perform an “open-ended” vasectomy technique, where the vas from the lower end of the tube is left open, while the upper end of the tube leading to the penis is cut and then separated by the fascial sheath barrier. Historically, the lower end was closed off during a vasectomy because it was thought that leaving the lower end open could cause more complications or failures.

    Instead, when the bottom end of the vas deferens is allowed to remain open, complications and failures are not increased. In fact, there appears to be less chance of post vasectomy pain and a higher chance of successful vasectomy reversal in the future. Specifically, when the lower end of a vasectomy is closed off, some patients experience build up pressure in the lower end and this pressure can cause swelling and inflammation in the epididymis, especially in the first 2 weeks.

    With an open ended approach, sperm is allowed to “leak out” and eventually forms a small granuloma at the opening that serves as a metabolically active “recycling” centre that decompresses the epididymis.

    This constant recycling and removal of sperm may relieve pressure build up downstream, reduce damage, and increase vasectomy reversal success.
