OR Live Feeds to the Medical Quack - watch Live Surgeries as they take place

Watch real surgeries live as they are taking place, and no this is not a reality show on the web. I have watched a few and they are educational videos that can either be watched live or you can tune in later and watch one from the past archives. The site actually contains quite a bit of information and is available to anyone, but to reference the advanced features such as CME credentials, you need to register. You can also find some of the videos on YouTube as well.

They also used the iCalendar feature, whereby you can import the schedule right in to Outlook, and you can sign up for email alerts, so a few options here. Tonight they have a live video on a hip replacement procedure. I have added the links in the far right hand corner, so you can take a look and see what's up and coming. Some videos show the DaVinci robotics machine, so if you have questions about how robotics works in surgery, there are a few here to view. Surgeries cover many different specialty areas, as listed on the site. At any rate, the links are in the resource area to browse from here. BD

"Davenport, IA --- Sports are a big part of Jeff Farland's life. In addition to a nearly 30-year career in parks and recreation, including eight years as Director of Leisure Facilities and Services for the city of Davenport, Iowa, he enjoys his own athletic and recreational pursuits. So when hip pain curtailed his activity, he sought a doctor's help. "I haven't been able to golf much and I'd love to play softball again," said Farland. "Not being able to walk the dog, work around the house or garden, it's really restricted my life." Now, Farland is on his way back to an active lifestyle, after undergoing a total hip replacement surgery that will be broadcast on OR-Live.com. The webcast will premiere Monday, Sept. 8, at 7 p.m. CDT."
