The Size of a Walnut: Your Heart in Their Hands
May 25, 2016
Gresham College
Professor Martin Elliott interviews paediatric cardiac surgeons from around the world gathering their thoughts and observations of 'what makes them tick' http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/changing-minds-and-mental-development
What does it feel like to hold a baby's heart in your hands? To 'feel' their life. No one really talks about this, but as well as the obvious responsibility associated with cardiac surgery on children, there is also (for almost all surgeons) a great deal of emotion.
In an attempt to explain that to you, this lecture compiles a series of video interviews with paediatric cardiac surgeons around the world who explain how that physical contact with someone else's beating heart makes them feel.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/changing-minds-and-mental-development
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,900 lectures free to access or download from the website.
