It's hip to be . . . watching hip resurfacing?

Pop some corn and gather 'round the old interweb machine! Tomorrow evening, there's some surgery to watch!

Hartford Hospital will be transmitting a live webcast of a hip resurfacing procedure starting at 6 p.m. EST. The technique will be done using something called the BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing System. Now, I'm no medical guru, so I can't tell you what this system is. However, I can tell you from childhood education (and from Dr. Nick Riviera) that the thigh bone's connected to the hip bone and that the hip bone's connected to the back bone.

Oh, them bones!

You can find more information about the procedure, including a link to the event, over here at the Hartford Hospital website.

Honestly, I can't watch live surgery, but I think it's pretty cool that the local hospital offers these kind of webcasts for those interested. And, by offering procedures this way, there's very little chance of an onlooker dropping a Junior Mint into an open body from a viewing gallery above.

Mmmm . . . Junior Mints. Seriously, JMs are easily the best movie candy. I dare anyone to disagree. But, that's for another time. 

So, get home early tomorrow. Get your popcorn, some Junior Mints, and enjoy the show.
