Day 2 – WakeMed Hospital

Today I watched two open heart surgeries. The first one was a less invasive valve replacement. I was able to watched two hours of it. I learned about the different possibilities for open heart surgeries, ways, and reasons to do a more or less invasive procedure. The second one was a triple bypass surgery. The doctor took an artery from the leg and used it to go around the blockage. I was able to watch four hours of this surgery.
