Another Xray of someone with something stuck in their skull - Page 2

it's really called my EXTERNAL carotid? yeah didn't bother to look it up, sorry folks. I know where the artery is that I've always known and loved as my "carotid artery", I never bothered to call it my internal aterery. External? wtf? If I can see or feel it from my skin makes it external?. Does that make all the other "internal" blah blah blah?

It's because you have two of them. The "common carotid artery" splits just above your collar bone into the "internal carotid artery," which runs deep in the middle of your neck, and the "external carotid artery," which runs much more superficially and is more easily accessible by both knives and gardening shears.

I wish I hadn't looked at this.
It's one of my personal terrors made real.
Lean over, lose balance, get speared through the eye.

Retch.

That she knows this surprises me not at all.

Easier to cut the jugular vein, but cutting the carotid will kill you even faster.

... but why does she know this?

If you do a correct oblique lumbar spine you'll get what look like scottie dogs.
