Andrew Speaker’s surgery

Sanjay Gupta takes us inside the OR:

Then, the procedure began. You could immediately notice the diseased part of the lung. A healthy lung has a very smooth border. It almost glistens, and it has a reddish look about it.

But Speaker’s diseased area had a lot of bumps on it. Other parts of the lung were much darker. It almost looked like some of the cells had died. Then, you could also see pockets of white areas, which were the cavities of tuberculosis infection.

So, you saw those cavities and you saw the very diseased areas all around it. We saw this all through video scope.
