Surgeon Makes Tutorial DVD For Conscious Open-Heart Surgery

Posted by samzenpus on from the looks-easy-enough dept.

Lanxon writes "Swaroup Anand, 23, from Bangalore, was fully conscious as he underwent open-heart surgery. An epidural to the neck, administered at the city’s Wockhardt Hospital, numbed his body during the procedure. Dr Vivek Jawali pioneered the technique ten years ago and has recently released a tutorial on DVD, which gives a step-by-step guide to the procedure for other surgeons to watch and learn from."

    Yeah, tell me about it--some of us are just a little squeamish. I read this book after having the same problems as you, and it helped out a lot. Check it out. The eBook is free as PDF.

    eBook can be found here since the main site appears to be down. Good luck, comrade.

    The reason why this is big news is that some people (mostly old people) who get knocked out, never wake up again

    Under ObamaCare, we call that "elective costs savings."
