As a medial photographer, Øystein Horgmo, captures some of the most interesting subjects imaginable.  This specimen, found in a medical student’s practical skills center, is covered in the attempts to heal fleshy lacerations which many of them are, as Øystein says, “sutured, but none of them healed.”

But really, this reminds me of my arm after a few minutes of playing with my cat.
