I will be having my surgery at a teaching hospital. We had to sign a release that allowed them to tape the surgery, but it said that our faces would not be shown. This is however for the hospitals use only we would no recieve copies.

When my mother had her first hip replaced; at rehab she shared a room with a woman who was awake during her hip replacement! She had been an OR nurse for like 50 years and wanted to be "present" for her surgery:scared2:. To me that was nuts. So after hearing that story nothing suprises me.

I refused any medication during my colonoscopy. I asked the MD a 100 questions and he explained every inch of my intestines to me while I watched on the monitor. I watched him cut out 3 polyps. I think medical procedures are interesting.

During my heart catheterization I asked the cardiologist about every little artery and vein on the monitor and he finally asked me to stop talking for a few minutes LOL

I really wanted a video of the surgery. I thought it would be interesting to see what my insides look like.

The doctor said that they do make videos, or take photo's, but hospital policy was that they couldn't give them out.

I offered to throw in an extra $5 on the bill, but he wouldn't go for it. :wub:

My doc took pictures while he was in there. I must admit, they're pretty cool to have. And it cracks me up that I have an Allergan advertisement inside my tummy! :blushing: Look at my "surgery pics" album.
