However I have some too: resist the urge to watch the (maybe here are more than one, dunno) radical neck dissection procedure posted on YouTube. Damn my curiosity I failed to do this the week before mine and it gave me some sleepless moments to say the least!
Surgeons who do this procedure are great. You'll do fine.
