Pause & Rewind: Gross

I would not  consider myself squeamish. But having my wife's doctor several times over her pregnancy, there is one picture on the wall which is very unsettling. Every time she goes behind the curtain for a five minute physical examination, I'm left alone staring at the following.


I have no idea why it is there? There is no written explanation with the picture. It is just a torrent of black pouring out of something that has ruptured, and is being surgically opened by something else.

Considering that it is a poster in a "women's health" department of a hospital, I don't even want an explanation. Just for the poster to be taken down. Or for my wife to give birth so I don't have to go back. Definitely I don't want my baby to see it.
