Surgical Procedures

I'm not sure how many of you are interested in viewing different types of surgical procedures or using them in your classrooms, but I have hit the jackpot in this department. I am teaching a Sports Medicine class and we discuss many different types of injuries and treatments for those injuries. On the website www.orlive.com there are many, many videos that demonstrate all different types of surgies. So far, I have shared an ACL reconstruction and total knee replacement with my students. Be warned, some of these are very graphic and bloody. Most of my students loved the videos, but others were not so crazy abut watching the procedures. I found that when I explained the process to them before watching, they were a little less apprehensive about what they would be seeing. If anyone uses the site and the videos, I would love to hear what you thought of them!
