Jesus christ

not sure if it's just me but reading this makes me extremely queezy.

Ugh I can handle medical procedures and nsfl situations but

Tap for spoiler

"turns the key that forces apart the rods in his femurs"

is too much of a step to grow more height methinks.

These kinds of articles are interesting to read but god gods like I can't imagine the insecurity one must have to actually commit into going through these kinds of procedures.

I say this as a person below average height btw

Either way thanks for sharing!

One thing I'd suggest however is to use the NSFW tag as it does show open surgical wounds. Even though blood and gore related content doesn't bother me, it still might be unpleasant for others.
