Cardiovascular perfusion: The intense career most people have never heard of

Dr Feinstein asks excellent questions that promote demystification of the medical procedure. In this case, Dr Rambhia, an ophthalmologist, describes different aspects of cataract surgery. Through his answers and following discussion, we gain a sense of what it is like for the surgeon and for the patient. It was also interesting to hear about the future surgeon’s learning process and training. I am not a medical professional; I appreciated the discussion and look forward to future episodes of Inside the OR.
