To educate and inspire others, the patient agreed to allow the hospital to livestream the surgery on its Facebook page. During the 50-minute procedure, more than 63,000 people viewed the livestream and left comments and reactions.
Methodist Dallas Medical Center surgeons walked viewers through the process and answered viewser’ questions in real-time. Following the procedure, the hospital shared an image of the patient smiling and recovering in her hospital bed.
