Videos with clinical information...(and partly they are hospital sales pitches)
I am not doing a sales pitch for anybody. The video on the left is that, and it's less than 10 minutes long. It features Dr. Dawn Jaroszewski from Mayo in Phoenix, with whom I have the consult in December.
The video on the right is an hour long presentation with more of the technical stuff that I wanted. It has body parts and blood in the video, which I very much wanted to see. My mother and father refuse to watch it. (I made my husband, Mark, watch it, though.)
If I can feel like I can breathe and have an active life again after the surgery, I will do a sales pitch for Mayo.
Warning: Many of the videos are not for people with faint heart. Yes, there's blood, but there's also the incredibly violent force required to rip the sternum up.
Yes. I am really aware that there's going to be pain.

Cleveland Clinic does the surgery, too. Below is their sales pitch. And to the right is the surgery being done in the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. (Kills me that his right arm is up and away...that's gotta hurt, too, when he wakes up.)

On the left is a video interviewing Dr. Donald Nuss, the originator of the Nuss procedure, by a patient's dad. (So the questions are not the ones I would ask, but it's really interesting to me to hear from the man who invented it.) To the right is Johns Hopkins' take on it.
