Modern Medicine at its best. the patient in the video was drinking a cup of coffee an hour after the surgery. All this innovative surgery and the nurse still had to crank the bed by hand.

Please just wake me when it’s over.

The hospital where this was performed seems to be somehow affiliated with Harvard Medical School.I can’t wait to who is the first patient to undergo this same procedure in one of their Boston area hospitals.

It took a couple of guys to hold me down (and three types of painkiller) when they tried to set a bone in my arm. I don’t know how many it would take to hold me down to cut open my heart.

"by performing the first coronary bypass surgery along with an aortic valve replacement without using general anaesthesia or ventilator support while the patient was on a heart lung machine"I'm assuming this was intentional.
I'd hate to think it was something like, "I thought you put him under! No, I thought you put him under!"

Awesome.. India has amazing talent, all it needs are some decent politicians and rest will fall in place.
To: Coleus
I wonder if the patient still gets Versed or some other short term amnesia drug. To undergo a procedure like that would weird me out to the max. “Sir, your heart’s just been stopped... excuse me while I tinker under the hood now....”
To: Coleus
Yeah, cup of coffee. Decat? Nothing like full caffeine coffee right after heart surgery. :’)
