How to Watch Surgical Procedures

The only way you used to be able to see a live surgical procedure was if you were a physician or a surgeon in training. However, with today's technology and society's desire to learn, videos of procedures are now readily available on the Internet for just about anyone to view. Some surgeries are even streamed live on the Internet from the beginning to the end of the procedure.
