#WordOfTheDay #lithotomy in Spanish #litotomía or as I prefer to call it “the most absurd position to give birth in”
Lithotomy is referred to this position. And although now I’m every picture and movie is generally understood as a position of birth. It is relatively modern and now questioned by people like me. But hey there is a man in the picture and not a birthing woman. 
Lithotomy from Greek for "lithos" (stone) and "tomos" (cut), is a surgical method for removal of calculi, stones formed inside certain organs, such as the urinary tract (kidney stones), bladder (bladder stones), and gallbladder (gallstones)
