I was an HDU/recovery nurse for 10 1/2 years. I often recovered cardiothoracic patients. Especially NUS procedures. OMG the post op pain the patients went through was honestly heartbreaking. We always made a point of having the hard-core IV medication prepped and ready to go before we would extubate and wake them up. The gas they use during the surgery causes shoulder tip pain which can be incredibly painful as it escapes from the tissues. Also having your chest flipped 180° is agonising as you can imagine. But it's incredible how life changing the procedure is. I'm so happy that Man got such a great result.

When I was 5yo in 1956 I asked my 33 yo dad why his chest sunk in. He spun a tale of catching a mortar shell during WWII. Didn't know it actually was a physical condition until seeing this video. Back then it wasn't a diagnosis either. He kept physically active with swimming, karate, and multi mile walks up until his death at 77.

When they rotated that bar and his chest popped up like that I GASPED.

My husband had a seroma,develop after abdominal surgery. A light clear yellow fluid filled sack. Like Brandon we went to the ER and had it drained but decided to do it our self. It popped at work and drained. His boss said not to return until he had a note from the doctor. He was seen and finally he had a large S shape catheter with many holes implanted. It had a suction ball for easy drainage. 2 months later the ball was dry and the tube was removed.They wouldn't let him work because they saw it as a liability. Thank goodness for a medical leave of absence, Short term disability insurance and paid time off hours he accumulated. He made more money than working and we took a vacation!

What a super supportive family this gentleman has. From his wife and daughter to his sister. I feel like he was in danger of getting really ill if this was not taken care of when it was treated. So glad he got it taken care of by these two.

I had this operation when I was 23. One hefty recovery period. Great surgical/nursing team and my lovely family being patient with me while in bed recovering for a while.

Radiofrequency ablation is a Godsend for me. I have a degenerative bone condition impacting my spine.

I would be in a wheelchair if I didn’t have treatment and do exercises to maintain mobility.

My question is where did Brandon get his medical care as a child? A veterinarian or something?! WTF! He should have had more support with that issue as a kid, so he didn't need to go out to some butcher to get implants. This is the sad reality of living in rural communities or sparsely populated states: lack of quality medical doctors.

That is a very interesting operation. The Dr who created this way to fix this problem with a persons chest is a very creative thinker. And an amazing doctor. Great episode! Thank you Dr. Terry & Dr. Paul. You guys are hero’s. ♥️♥️♥️

It's so nice seeing someone with the same condition I have featured here! I found out what it was called when I was 15 on the Internet after a ton of desperate self research. My case isn't bad enough to need surgery to fix as it doesn't impact me physically, but man, dealing with it for so long as a young girl who got bullied because of it and just had to come to terms with it and learn to be okay with how I look, that was hard. I was severely insecure about it for literally the first two decades of my life basically. It's so cool seeing the actual procedure and seeing results too!

This episode really seems like they are fixing a real problem. 👍
