I feel bad, because it is horrific and deeply concerning, but I lose it every time I see that picture in relation to this story. Something about the absurdity is absolutely perfect. I hope that tourist really did smile through the tears after seeing it again.

It was an internal decapitation, provided this isn’t a second similar case I hadn’t heard about (which would be an awful trend). The whole thing was a mess, with the doctor trying to cover it up and then brush it off like it was a Three Stooges act instead of people’s lives and emotions.
