A historic overview of the effect, which the Great Fire had on London by Dr Stephen Porter http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/londons-great-fire-and-its-aftermath

What does it feel like to hold a baby's heart in your hands? To 'feel' their life. No one really talks about this, but as well as the obvious responsibility associated with cardiac surgery on children, there is also (for almost all surgeons) a great deal of emotion.

In an attempt to explain that to you, this lecture compiles a series of video interviews with paediatric cardiac surgeons around the world who explain how that physical contact with someone else's beating heart makes them feel.

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/londons-great-fire-and-its-aftermath
