Turp

TURP is not a nonsense word. It stands for Transurethral Resection of the Prostate in medical terms. Hence your first pic.

That very last picture links to site called "Limbs and Things," a site filled with prosthetic devices ostensibly used for medical procedure training. Although in reality, many of the devices they have for sale are very odd looking when taken out of context. This one is particularly distressing to me for some reason.

That's a plastic placenta being pulled out of a plastic woman's cooter. There's something remarkably unsettling about that, and I actually work in the medical field (although nothing as, uh... "hands on" as obstetrics).
