Surgery YouTube Is the Goriest, Most Informative YouTube

• motherboard.vice.com by Samantha Cole

There's a bloody market for surgery videos on the internet. Most are a challenge even for the slightly squeamish and morbidly curious: hearts being lifted out of chests, up-close views of wisdom teeth extraction, knee replacements. Live-streamed surgeries are done on social media, often as a gory stunt.

Searching "educational surgery" or "real surgery" on YouTube returns millions of results. People have given birth and had skin lift procedures with a live internet audience. But many plastic surgeons use Snapchat to reach their future patients, like Dr. Matthew Schulman, who broadcasts from the operating room to millions of followers.
