Laparoscopic Surgery Mania!

(Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgery)

2

Overview *

Surgery is fascinating!! Intelligent, trained and skilled professionals, in their pajamas (scrubs) all day, looking at the most interesting and potentially disgusting anatomy that a body could possibly offer. Sounds cool!?! Well, here is your chance to experience the same situations that the trained professionals do, without the years of training, and yes, potentially still in your pajamas!

You can examine signs and symptoms, diagnose illnesses and take your patient to surgery. You will be learning medical terminology, pathology, physiology, anatomy and hand eye coordination, specifically for minimally invasive abdominal surgeries, in an easy and safe environment. Mom always wanted a doctor in the family, so make her proud! Be the Health Care Professional she always wanted, from the comfort of your own home! Enjoy!
