That's a carbon copy of my scar 
A Right Thoracotomy. Do you have two drain holes at the front just above the hip?
That's the one
You can see the main drain in the first pic, with the secondary (and considerably smaller in diameter) drain about 40mm above it.
On the plus side the 'close' looks like some very good work, and I have worked with some very good surgeons
The surgeon was a Mr Michael Dusmet de Smours, and he was nothing short of excellent in every aspect of his job IMHO.
In fact, out of all the hospitals I have visited thus far, the Brompton beats them all by a country mile for everything and if I find myself in the unfortunate position of having more surgery then that's the place I want to be for it.
Do you remember the H&S crap I had in Frimley over using a microwave?
Not so in the Brompton, every patient has access to a full on kitchen located on the ward.
I would end up hitting the post character limit long before I could get around to describing the conditions well enough for the reader to understand, so I'll condense it by saying that the Brompton is the dogs danglies.....end of!
