I was contacted today by BBC NI (British Broadcasting Corporation Northern Ireland) about an upcoming documentary that there are to film on different types of surgery.
My number was passed onto the hospital's media correspondent by the surgeon, who will probably be doing a AVR and root operation on me in the near future. (he operated on me when I had a homograft/tissue valve implanted nearly 7 years ago).
My surgeon is going to be filmed doing 2 different types of procedures in 2 different operations, and he has suggested that I be one of those.
Mine is apparently what is perceived as the "rarer" type operation
I have yet to meet with the surgeon (this time) to discuss which op and when, but hope to do so in the next few weeks. On the up-side, the media correspondent said that this filming is going to be done before xmas
I don't have any great reasons/feelings to say no to this but had wondered:
Has anyone else on here ever had their surgery/part of it filmed?
Would this be a good thing to be involved in?
Are their any other reasons not to or for that matter, why I should say yes.
