Here are three cardiac surgery simulations that will bring out the inner heart surgeon in all of us.
The first is the most intense, complete with a dramatic background heartbeat. It’s Virtual Open Heart Surgery:
For something more cheery and less scary, you can try this Heart Operation simulation from the UK:
And if that’s still too much, there’s always open heart surgery on a stuffed bunny. By far my favorite:

Hi Kevin,
Just stumbled across your amazing blog. Very informative. Though I am not an aspiring heart surgeon, I still tried my hand at saving Fred, the bunny. I must admit that at least he is in better hands now (by not being in my hands.) That was tough. I am hoping that he has more than one life.
Keep up the good work.
Re the bunny, ah the memories:

Aarghh, I killed the bunny. Next time, he needs a cardiologist, not an engineer!
