A doctor in Brussels recently captured images of an ovary releasing an egg while he was performing a partial hysterectomy on a 45 year old woman.

Posted by shanika@trying to get pregnant quickly | November 10, 2009, 11:39 amI don’t think one should question whether this doctor had a good reason for performing a hysterectomy on this “young” woman – at 45 most woman are probably close to the menopause anyway – awsome picture for medical science none the less – pity more doctors didn’t have their camera’s at the ready during general procedures
