Considered it.
Part of me is "I'd want to see someone else's gore" and part of me is "Rider Down forum shouldn't be some gore porn thing".
That second argument currently has a clear lead. Besides, if there's a dialogue in my own mind, I want it to be the one visualising the healed and strong me, not going weaker at the knees seeing how bad it was a day ago.
I need to tone down the whole "this is interesting" thing. That freaked the ambulance and A&E people out. "No drugs please, this new experience is interesting and want to feel all of it".
But similarly now, healing is a truly incredible thing. I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and my face is glowing with health. I figure my body is in overtime repair mode and the bits of me that were unaffected are benefiting as a side effect. Still have aches, that knee is a constant noise of pain, but I feel strong too. I've never stopped being a child fascinated by everything.

Conversely, I accompanied a friend to A&E when we were 19, she'd cut her arm quite badly - long cut along the inside forearm down to the bone. The doctor treating her was very obviously interested (clean cut, amazingly didn't slice anything important), so much so that he called in a bunch of students and demonstrated in a kind of "and look what happens to the hand if I prod this bit here... and see this tendon here" way, before getting down to the treatment and closing up. She was pretty stoic about it really.
