Teach Me A Lesson with Greg James and Bella MackieAvailable for over a year
This is a clip from an episode of Teach Me A Lesson in which award-winning Miss Osueke takes us on a guided tour of the cardiovascular system, and challenges Greg and Bella to come up with new ways of remembering parts of the heart. We'll also find out about the ways in which emotional heartbreak can have real medical implications, as Greg and Bella share their stories of young heartbreak. Hear about the work of early heart surgery pioneer, Daniel Hale Williams, plus Miss Osueke's shock lupus diagnosis and the open heart surgery that saved her life.
