@valjean9863 The heart is behind our ribs (They're part of the bones which cover the heart & lungs.).

I'm inspired. I want to become a surgeon, too :) But I've got more years to go through. I'm 16 years old :)

You Don't divide the bronchus before checking it (to make sure that you have clamped the rite bronchus) by asking the anesthetist to re-inflate the lung. You should explain this before cutting the bronchus.

You are watching only one emithorax, so you see only one lung. The hearth is behind it.

Where is the heart?

it may sound stupid, sorry, i'm just a 13 year old kid, all my family are surgeons and i'm fascinated by it so i'm researching procedures, and i just can't see the heart between the lungs.
