High school students go to surgery via distance education - Associated Press
Students from three South Dakota high schools witnessed live quadruple bypass heart surgery last month but they weren't required to wear scrubs and they didn't leave class. The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago invited Emery and Wall high school students to watch the videocast, "Live From the Heart," and ask the surgical staff questions about the operation. Emery school officials also asked Hanson County students to watch the session which was broadcast through the state's distance learning network. "We wanted our students to participate because this is such a unique opportunity," said Shirlyn Christensen, who teaches advanced biology at Emery. "This is the closest we'll come to an actual operation, because there's no way we can put our class into a surgical room."
