    Good website detailing open heart surgery?

    I searched through wikipedia and some links associated with some entries but didn't find much. Are there medical websites that detail how to perform surgery, length of time, recovery time for the patient, etc.?

    How about this:

    http://www.abc.net.au/science/lcs/heart.htm

    It's an online game where you can perform open heart surgery.

    Video:

    Post-surgery restrictions:

    Found this, too, but haven't actually watched the tutorial:

    http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/t.../htm/index.htm

    WebMD's site probably has useful stuff, too.

            Especially the bit at the end that said - ALERT! Surgery was unsucessful. Better call your lawyer.

            Facsinating game though.

              There's a brief comment in VANITY FAIR about how by-pass surgury messes some folks up and may have messed Bill Clinton up, if just a little. The psychology of open heart surgury, the resulting mood swings and psychological (if not physical) mental damage.

              I just mean, I never thought about the after-effects: people have them and you think "miracle medical cure" ... but I'd never thought about the physical and psychological repurcusions to such a traumatic and invasive ordeal ...

              They crack you open, body, mind, and soul ...

                You can also watch heart surgery on PBS or some cable stations. I've seen bits, no way I can be a doctor.
