Hartomleiding regstreeks op Twitter gedeel

New York – Dokters by die Memorial Hermann Northwest-hospitaal in Houston het mediese en mediageskiedenis gemaak toe hulle Dinsdag die eerste keer ooit 'n hartomleidingsoperasie regstreeks op Twitter uitgesaai het.

Dr Michael Macris het 'n dubbele hartomleiding op 'n 57-jarige pasiënt uitgevoer. Sy kollega, dr Paresh Patel, het deurentyd die prosedure op die Twitter-profiel @houstonhospital gedeel.

'n Kamera was op Macris se kop gemonteer, en Patel het addisionele foto's geneem.

Die prosedure het twee uur geduur, en sowat 225 000 mense het die proses gevolg.

Kyk hier na al die tweets, foto's en video's. WAARSKUWING: Inhoud kan sensitiewe lesers ontstel.
