Dr. O'Connor:
During hip replacement surgery, the patient is not going to feel me working inside their hip. They are either numbed up from the waist down and sedated, which is typically how at my institution, we do the surgery, or maybe they are asleep, completely asleep, but they are not going to feel me working on their hip.
