its awsome. but just a reminder for myself anyone whos interested, we look after and nurture our physical heart what about our spritual heart, which is cetered in the physical heart. who is going to help cure those spritual diseases?
where is the surgeon’s gloves?
That is really cool.
The human body is so amazing. It makes me realize how fragile and precious we all are, see that persons little heart beat away. It’s really cool how surgeons are able to do these types of things to save peoples lives.

it is rly inspiring
wow. i wish i had guts to becomes a surgeon

I don’t think being an astrophysicist is much harder, I think it’s actually much much easier. Most astrophysicists don’t stand there on their feet all day, sweating with someone’s life in their hands and have to go out and face their family if they fail. Yeah, someone could die as a result of something you do, but it wouldn’t just be you, there would have been a whole chain of actions and other people sharing culpability before it gets to the stage where someone could die.
LMAO!! he sticks a little white tube in da heart. and starts spewing blood.!!XD
omg that must fuckin hurt wat is he doing why is he doing it
i dun agree with you in many level. It is hard to explain everything in 500 characters. I will just say death is a natural process yes it can act negatively on your psychology but that does not make it hard. Then according to you killing someone is hard as well and the executioners should be the highest paid. The stuff you mentioned are not attributes of difficulty. They sound more like someone’s weakness. Compare it with a soldier’s job and they are nothing and yet they are very ill paid. Why?
cheese!!
thank you docs for saving our lives!!
@ISakina i will become a surgon
Ah, very interesting. Judging by how the blood was coming out of the tube, he was most likely replacing a vein (vascular surgery).
my uncle needs upon heart surgery
Awesome!
Why is there such little blood loss? The stent was spewing blood but there was not much blood loss in terms of volume even though there was a decent sized hole.
I don’t understand why people find this stuff so gross. It’s what’s in your body, if anything more people should see this stuff.
It is not a stent it is a shunt. The blood runs through the shunt to where it has to go while the graft is done. Look closely at the end of the grafting the shunt is removed just before the suture it tightened. It happens very quickly and most people miss it thinking that the shunt is left in the artery
