Did anyone else get that email saying that we will ge to c a live surgery at the forum!!
Im really excited about that! I have never seen one before, so that should b fun.

Yea I got the email too. It's from a tv screen though. I don't believe you'll be in the same room were the surgery is taking place because the said via conference

it's still gonna be amazing though! x]
I wonder what kind of surgery it will be..

its goign to be a total knee replacement i believe...

Yeah i know we're not gonna be like it there. but i think its going to b so cool. To me it really doesn't matter what kind of surgery it is.

A knee replacement?? Thats cool. I wonder how that works. I can't wait to c it.

waw thats awesome!! ......... wish it was sumthing more like the brain though.

to Tei Kai:
yeah that would be amazing!
or like a heart translpant
because i'm really interested in cardiology

Yeah, brain or heart would be really neat!

Hey Stacy, how do u know what its going to be?? Just wondering.

Yeah the live surgery is WAY cool! Last year it was a knee surgery but it was done via satellite. Not as fun but still amazing! Only thing is our connection kept gettin cut off so that added an extra hour to the whole process....lol and about half of the room fell asleep during it...not cuz it was boring but cuz the day before had been CRAZY and we didn't end up going to bed till about 4!! Haha yeah I fell asleep on one of the guys in my group and he fell asleep on me! Try and stay awake

i got a notice back in november. and it more sense because its less involved and risky that others.

Oh okay. Well that make sense.
Thanks for the info

when i went to the forum we saw a colonoscopy and also an open heart surgery. it was pretty intense.

Not everyone gets to watch the surgery.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but very few people get to watch it.
If you get to, you're very lucky.
But last year everyone got to watch an autopsy.

rlly i hope i get to see the surgery.

Chelsea=] I don't know which session you went to! I went to session 3 last year in Atlanta, we weren't actually in an operating room but, we did watch a total knee replacement through a live broadcast! It was pretty cool!

it says that we get to see a knee replacement. but it probably wont be in the OR cause they couldnt put us all in one OR, so it will be through a TV.
i just watched a live spinal surgery a couple days ago and it was the most amazing thing of my life, so i hope we get to be in the room. but no one get their hopes up

We had the surgery. It was recorded for us cause we couldnt get the live feed so we were SOL on the live on.

It takes place in Ohio.

Aww, I really want to see a live surgery.

A friend of mine who went last year, said they got to hold real brains , and other organs

Well it depends on where you go for your clinical experience to hold organs. I didn't get to. My place was so boring!! I was so upset.

We saw a live knee replacement that took place in ohio. Its really cool. And better that being in the OR in some ways. If we were reallt in the OR, then we wouldn't have had such a great view and wouldn't have seen everything. But it was really great!!

Well at our forum(ATL session 3 ) we had to watch it on a screen but the effect was still there and it wasnt live so it may depend on your site,or session
