Presentation on AVR

[Peachy]

Hi everyone,

Tonight I done a presentation at College on aortic heart valve defect and replacement. We all had to speak for 10 minutes in front of the class on a subject of our choice and also have visual aids. I chose to do AVR as it is something which I have obviously researched. I was a bit nervous to start off with but once I got going I was okay. I covered all points and had visual aids via Power Point showing a normal aortic valve and a defective one. I also had pics of the heart op which brought gasps as I described what happened. Everyone seemed quite impressed and asked lots of questions afterwards. So my problems turned into something which I was able to educate people about.

WELL DONE Peachy !

I'm sure your class mates will remember your 'infomercial' for a long time.

'AL'

Thats great!

People ( especially the young ) do need to know that heart issues can affect younger people -- I know I was very ignorant until they told me what I had quite recently.

Also takes courage to get up and do what you did -- like Al said well done

Excellent!

Excellent!

Good job, Peachy!! My Ryan did the same thing at CSU.. He did his on Marfan's Syndrome. He?s here lurking around lately... he?s gonna be irate at me for tellin?. But I too, think its wonderful that you can educate other young people on such and important issue, that you know so much about first hand.

Good job!
