Talk:Hemicorporectomy

message: I find it extremely hard to believe that sawing a woman in half is some sort of 'veiled reference' to hemicorporectomy.--Pharos 18:36, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably isn't.  Or at least, no more than that that's one subconscious fear that magicians can exploit to gain emotional involvement of the audience.  Pakaran (ark a pan) 19:11, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: veiled reference

message: I'm not sure the RoboCop reference is really relevant to what's primarily a medical issue.  Furthermore, I can think of a lot more bisection injuries in movies (notably the Scary Movie series), but I don't think that's really relevant to this article.  Plus once we get a list of such fictional incidents started, we'll get a whole bunch of weird stuff that will be damn hard to verify.  I'm taking it out in a few weeks unless anyone objects.  --Coolcaesar 03:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Do it. While you're at it remove the Jedi reference. I mean for goodness sake, if we're gonna mention every single individual in fiction who ever had such an injury... Anyway I thought 'Robocop' only lost his legs, not his entire lower extremities. Jquarry 08:06, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Blog 

message: I understand it's a serious procedure (although in his article Masterson mentions survival statistics ranging between 70% and 30% for benign and malignant cases, respectively), but isn't it overly cold to refer to the patients as "survivors" throughout the entire prosthesis part?

replies: text: Fixed; the word "patient" is used elsewhere in the article, anyway. Besides, it's understood that they survived (otherwise they wouldn't be receiving prostheses), so it was kind of overstating the obvious. intooblv (talk) 19:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I disagree. The magic trick is clearly relevant in the sense that most people are under the impression that a traumatic hemicorporectomy is what happens when the magic trick fails.  That was the entire point of the "Sleight Out of Hand" episode on CSI:NY in season three. --Coolcaesar (talk) 17:05, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
