    Hi David...are you in UK? ... I get channel 5 here in Ireland so hopefully I'll get to see the programme....if I'm able to watch it....I was sedated for op and had epidural in my spine....I could hear them sawing and drilling, it might freak me out watching it, yet Id like to know how it's done 😨

    Yes I noticed that.

    I had TKR 6 years ago. I was awake while they operated so vaguely remember the operation itself and will be very interested to see the progamme.

    I watched the one last night, Heart Valve replacement, very graphic, showed the complete operation in detail.
