Below is a short video we took with a digital camera.  I pointed the lense toward my chest and closed my eyes while Dr Adam poked around my tummy.  The day before I had four tubes coming out of me, two of which were much larger.  The sound you hear about 1 minute into the video was a special moment.  Also notice how long the wires are that he pulls out of me.  There is close to 10 inches of wire.
