Scrolling through this collection of weird, eerily creepy, and at times, downright morbid, medical photos from the US National Library of Medicine, I cannot but wonder how or why these photos ever existed. And surprisingly, they possess 17 million more of these items in their collection. Some of these photos include a portrait of a man whose heart has been pierced by an arrow (only drawn over, no worries!), a chopped hand with an illustration of the different parts of a wrist, and what looks like a double-headed sheep.
The photo above is probably one of the more benign items in their collection, showing the different nurse uniforms representing a nation or region. Check out more of this odd collection on Flashbak. - via Nag on the Lake
