@bonemuseum: Johnny’s story is a powerful reminder of what self-advocacy can look like. After a lifetime of pain from a severely corrected clubfoot and multiple surgeries, he made the courageous decision to pursue an amputation, a choice that finally gave him control over his own comfort and future. Johnny decided to loan his amputated leg to The Bone Museum so others could learn from his experience. By letting people see the long-term effects of overcorrection and the reality of living with chronic pain, he’s helping future patients, students, and educators understand why speaking up for your own body matters. Johnnys leg will be on display at the Bone Museum for the next two years! #amputation #amputeelife #amputee

What is the photo with bugs on the bones?

Rain :

Techincally, when i pass, can I get displayed at the museum…

juupur :

I would love to have my bones displayed for science if I ever got a limb amputated, or if I passed away. However, if I did get a limb amputated and I saw it on display, I would definitely disassociate a bit!

gfff.98 :

Am I the only one who wouldn't be able to understand that this was my bone? If it was me? 😂 I think my brain would be neglecting it and be in total denial
