Description

Written by Dr. Myo Thant, the brains behind the Life & Death series, Virtual Surgeon takes you from the classroom to the operating table. Choosing technical accuracy and realism over quick thrills, it is nonetheless a multimedia extravaganza of medical information. Featuring full-motion video of your travels through the hospital and instructionals on proper technique, a plethora of reference material, and periodic tests, Virtual Surgeon aims to capture the feeling of actually being in residence. Of course, one couldn't be a surgeon without cutting a few people open, so you will have to deal with patients needing cardiac surgery to progress.
