See video of a surgical procedure, online

AT OR Live which can be found here.

My office is investigating Vioxx claims and I have been following the Texas State Court Trial being prosecuted by M. Lanier. A component of that case deals with arrythmia as a diagnosis. Thanks to OR Live, I was able to view a procedure involving this very diagnosis, by going here.

"Arrhythmias of the Heart included live broadcasts of a diagnostic study of electrical firings of the heart and an internal cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implant that shocks the heart into a normal rhythm if necessary."

You can also see doctors from St. Luke's Medical Center in Milwaukee perform a Cervical Discectomy with Fusion Anterior Approach to repair cervical discs.

Will it help your practice? I've used NLM videotapes for mediations and at trial. Could these serve as replacements?
