Heart Surgery Webcast

I have just finished watching the video of valve repair surgery from the Cleveland Clinic [usnews.com/livesurgery].

Absolutely marvelous! I came at the video from the perspective of having had bypass surgery, as a hospital volunteer who counsels heart surgical patients, and as a hospital board member. As I kept shifting my perspective from the various hats I wear at the hospital, I learned a great deal and found the video extremely informative. We have an extraordinary new cardiothoracic surgeon at our hospital who is advocating the purchase of a robot. The video helped tremendously in gaining an understanding of this technology and its potential. I hope you leave this video on the site for some time to come so others can take advantage of it. Thank you very much.
