Curious as to whether iPhones are allowed in the OR and if a picture could be taken of my heart. Thanks in advance, Craig
I think that would depend on your doctor and the hospital. Can't hurt to ask!
That would be totally cool! Wish I thought of it.
A friend of mine had someone in the OR take pictures for her during her heart transplant. You can ask, and see what happens. Good luck!
My cardiologist assisted and took lots of pictures and videos.
Personally, I think I'd pass out if I saw pictures of me being operated on. But all they can do is say no to you.
