Working as a physician Dr. Naydin has had experience from being in the operating room as first assist, primary surgeon in the cath lab for neuro intervention procedures, seeing post-surgical complications as outpatient, to admitting people in the ED. With the world of biohacking and implanting hardware expanding, postsurgical complications are too increasing in numbers. He will show pictures and share my experiences with such complications. He has experience with patients having ischemic strokes and losing an entire hemisphere of their brains, infected pacemakers requiring surgical revision, infected breast implants, and complicated knee replacements. As we modify our own bodies, we as hackers have to be mindful of our own mortal limitations. Along with sharing my experiences, I would like to provide some insight into what to look out for. When do you cut your losses and get to the ED?
