Title: 3D Medical Models
Post by: Mr. DS on March 03, 2011, 11:54:00 AM
I don't know what it is but I love medical models.  You know, the stuff your doctor shows you in the desperate attempt to you make you lead a healthy lifestyle.  For example, the plastic diseased heart or the skeletal model of the knee to demonstrate arthritis.  We get a lot of catalogs in my work place (hospital) that I enjoy flipping through.

Perhaps no one will respond to this because it is an odd interest.  But I wanted to see if someone else shared it.

Of course they are cool!  What do people gravitate to at science museums? The hands-on models of human organs and systems.

(Decided my original post was tmi and largely irrelevant)

I don't think it's that odd. It's got a pretty strong fascination quotient.

I used to have an lab and office right outside the Vet Anatomy museum, full of picked animals of every stripe.  I hated having to cut through there when i was working at night.
But I love all that kind of stuff.  So you are not alone.

When I was a kid there was this:

The magazine came with collectable body parts so you could get a kid friendly human body kit with all the parts.
Loved it, I found it facinating.
