👁How does heart transplant surgery work?
🧠Roni Shanoada
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Your heart beats more than 100,000 times a day. In just a minute, it pumps over five liters of blood throughout your body. But unlike skin and bones, the heart has a limited ability to repair itself. So if this organ is severely damaged, there's often only one medical solution: replacing it. Roni Shanoada explores how this complex and intricate procedure works. [Directed by Alexia Roider, Zedem Media, narrated by Addison Anderson].

👁Does trickle-down economics actually work?
🧠Jonathan Smith
