Mom Teaches Surgery to 5-Year-Old with Playdough [Video]

The Beakfasteur, a mother and a doctor, uses Playdough and other materials to create anatomical models to demonstrate surgical procedures to the uninitiated, including her 5-year-old son. In the video above, she performs a Lichtenstein tension-free mesh repair on an inguinal hernia using Playdough. For those interested in other types of surgeries, such as cesarean delivery, open appendectomy, or coronary artery bypass, she has videos for those as well. Here are a few below, but you can check out the rest over at her Youtube channel!
