Watch Live Surgeries on OR-Live

orlive-bcm-logoOR-Live.com lets you watch live surgery via webcast or view hundreds more in their archive. At first it had an doctor-dominated audience, but now more and more patients are watching surgeries. Patients undergoing a specific surgery can watch a video of it beforehand and hopefully get a better understanding of the procedure. You can even put the videos on your iPOD and watch them on-the-go.The videos are well produced, long, informative and, not to mention, free. But that's because the webcasts act as an advertisement for a specific hospital, performing an new innovative technique.I think it's a great way to educate patients, doctors, and also act as a resource for medical illustrators doing surgical illustration. [via Medical 2.0]
