The ethical dilemma of a heart surgeon | Ferdinand R. Waldenberger | TEDxKlagenfurt
Ferdinand Waldenberger is a highly respected heart surgeon. On stage he perfectly describes what it feels like to carry the responsibility for another person´s life. He also gives valuable advice for those who want to heal on a clinical level and demonstrates that the line between bravery and stupidity can sometimes be very thin.
Maybe some of you might know the expression “To hold someone´s heart in your hand”. It is hard to imagine what it must feel like to be responsible for such an important organ. Ferdinand Waldenberger is Cardiac Surgeon, Associate Professor and Medical Director. Today he is Hospital Director at the Clinical Center in Klagenfurt. It is part of his job to handle dangerous and risky operations. He was part of the team for the first heart transplantation in 1984 and the first to successfully fulfill a heart transplantation on a newborn child. On top of that Ferdinand teaches at the University Steyr and the Medical School in Vienna.
