Actually the use of nauseous is perfectly correct, Dave. Look it up yourself:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nauseous

[There's a reason one meaning is listed first and the other is, um, Number 2. - Dave]

In the words of that great lexicographer William Safire:

I always say "I am nauseated" before clapping a handkerchief over my mouth and racing to talk to Ralph on the big white phone, but I don't know anybody else who says that. They all say, Gawd, I feel nauseous, or offer a telegraphic Nauseous, gonna go whoops, and they actually take offense when I correct them with "No, you are nauseated"; in one instance, my lap then became the target of a power boot. Since that time, I have accepted nauseous as a synonym for nauseated, and when I need a word to denote "causing nausea," I rely on disgusting. I realize this caving-in to common usage is permissive and descriptive -- nauseous to prescriptivists -- but it has saved me from the fallout of upchucking friends.

That type of surgical bandage is still sometimes used today. It's applied as a pressure bandage and also aids in dressing change. It's probably a good bet this man had either a hernia repair or an appendectomy. I'm curious as to the cross on the anesthesiologist's gown; does it signify his position or the hospital where he practices?

[From Band-Aid boxes to nurse's caps, the cross was a common medical insignia. - Dave]

That's kind of nifty how they tied the strips of tape together with the bandage so they can check the wound later without ripping off the tape!

Waiter? I don’t think the guy in the back is a waiter. I think he’s there to block the door should the patient make a run for it. I bet his name is Igor.

If you've ever seen the 1999 remake of House on Haunted Hill, the doc in this picture looks a lot like the one from that movie. Creepy.

If the operation was so successful why does the guy have a cross on his collar!? And why, for the love of God, is there a waiter in the background?

Aren't surgeons supposed to have delicate hands? That one looks like he snuck in from the local butcher shop.

[He's the anesthesiologist. - Dave]

He didn't need his ovaries anyway. Wait, . . . I mean, . . . DOH!

I don't know why, but this picture makes me nauseous.

["Nauseated." - Dave]

Run, the villagers are storming the castle!

What the survival rate was back then for operations. The infection rate. I also wonder how they were stitched up. I've been stitched and I've been stapled and I prefer the staples.

Whatever they removed fell right into the Chuck Wagon below.

I don't know why, but this picture freaks me out!! For some reason they all look sinister!! It's like a scene out of a sci-fi movie!!!
