Cyber-surgery

One prominent feature of the Internet is its ability to bring us information we just don't have access to otherwise. This can be plain-old factual information, or it can be access to people who are far away and we wouldn't have met otherwise. And with the advent of high-speed streaming video, we can witness events that we cannot be present for.

Such as observing surgery. Welcome to OR-Live.

There are scheduled events that you can watch like TV programs (I wonder when we'll get TiVo for live-streamed video. Sure, there might be an archive, but I mean something where I can set my computer to grab the downloaded information as it is streamed and save it in a file for me. Or does that exist already?).

Anyway, I see they are doing a minimally-invasive knee replacement surgery on March 28. This is what my mom had done, so I'm interested in taking a look.
