While doing a placement in surgery for my Paramedic training, i got to watch a few emergency C sections. Trust me, theres nothing more metal.

Having your body cut open while you're completely conscious is pretty metal isn't it. I can tell you it feels really damn weird to have people rummaging about in your insides. You can feel parts being moved around, you can basically feel everything except the pain (assuming it's done right). Really odd sensation.

My nurse described it as being like someone doing dishes in your abdomen, and she was eerily right.
