Doctor Videos

To anyone considering becoming a candidate for surgery, the following videos are a valuable resource. Since Dr. George Fielding is familiar with surgery as both a patient and a surgeon, he brings a unique perspective to the topic in this series of short films.

These videos are streamed over the Internet and, as such, quality is dependent on specification of your computer, speed of your connection to the Internet and also the amount of general Internet traffic. If you have problems viewing these videos you may want to try again at another time.

Alternatively, you can listen to an audio stream of the information in mp3 format. These files are roughly one-third the file size of the video clips and should play faster if you are having problems with the videos.
