My friend Jessie Newburn found this on the web and forwarded the link to me on to. It is a simulation of open heart surgery and this time you are the surgeon! Sound like fun?
It didn’t to me either but I still gave it a shot. I didn’t get very far before the message “ALERT, surgery was unsuccessful better call your lawyer…Your ineptitude has ended the patient's life…”
This nifty little simulation was found on A Hearty Life.

Records reveal that the earliest pericardium operations were performed as early as the 19th century. Surgeons on record include Francisco Romero, Henry Dalton, and Dominique Jean Larrey. Dr. Ludwig Rehn of Germany is credited with the first successful open heart surgery without complications, on September 7, 1896. Surgery for repair of aortic coarctation and creation of Blalock-Taussig shunt soon became common by the first half of the nineteenth century. The operations included measures to palpate damaged mitral valve, remove portions of the mitral valve, resection of the infundibular muscle stenosis and division of the stenosed pulmonary valve. In 1952, Dr. C. Walton Lillehei and Dr. F. John Lewis performed the first successful intracardiac correction. They addressed the complications of congenital heart defect with the help of hypothermia. The first surgery under local anesthesia after heart surgery was performed by Dr. Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Vishnevskiy of the Soviet Union.
cardiac complication symptoms vary widely. For instance, you may have only minor chest pain while someone else has excruciating pain.
One thing applies to everyone, though: If you suspect you're having a heart attack, call for emergency medical help immediately. Don't waste time trying to diagnose heart attack symptoms yourself.
