  • @Nighthawk81100 good question. but for the doctors it's very important, so that they can check for the failure of vital signs like brain to muscle coordination, stroke etc. during the surgery, and as for the patient, it's pointless.. true that.

  • @freakster05 seems pointless to me ! why would anybody want to be awake during it ??!

  • umm so it's just like a c-section except it's the heart? O_o

  • Fucking crazy!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!

  • Thank you very much for sharing indeed.

  • normally there would be a bit of banter between surgeons...sorry what?

  • oh man! it takes a lot of courage to do that!

  • Damn!
