I remember a surgeon commenting that sometimes muscles and tendons can be in different places or even outright missing in individuals. That must make surgery fun.
Soon I'm supposed to have a surgery on my spine but possibly coming from the front. I've had about a thousand MRIs leading up to this. Apparently a goodly number of them were just checking to see if they could even get to my spine past the stomach (and, more than that, veins).
I don't really want to need the surgery, but I don't envy the surgeons, either.
