(Oh well, you asked)
First one I did was a series of views of the stomach and
esophagus, concentrating on the GE (gastro-esophigial) valve and how it
dysfunctions as the stomach moves upward in progressive stages of hiatial
herniation. (whew!) My client was Dr. Lucius Hill, a GI surgeon who had
devleoped a new technique for reparing hiatial hernias by laparoscopy.
It was an interesting job as the information I used to make my models
consisted of drawings by Dr. Hill as well as videos of a gastroscopic
examination of the stomach of one of his patients.  Look in most anatomy
books and you won't see this valve as its existance has not been well
documented til recently.

    Have also done a bunch of neurological animations showing basic
anatomy of the cervical nerves (On Old Olympus's Treeless Top...etc), CSF
circulation in the spine and brain, the difference between morphine and
fentanyl at the synaptic level (This is your brain, THIS is your brain on
LightWave), a bunch of OB/GYN stuff on PID, Ectopic pregnancy and hormone
cycles, and one on endometrial biopsy techniques.

    I use to work fulltime as a biomedical repairdroid in a way too
big hospital in the NW.  Times being somewhat tough for hospitals these
days I was laid off over a year ago, just in time to really concentrate
on my LW work.  >;}

    I'd like to work for a company like Zeiss or Olympus doing R&D on
medical VR, but so far I've been too busy to make a good resume/demo tape.

    My big time crunch now will be gettin my flYer up & running.  I
pre-bought it along with all the other optimistic fools and bought the .9
version when I had to decide if I wanted to throw more $$$ after my
$500.00 deposit.  Could not afford the hard drives till now.
I hope it works. (He pauses and makes a quick prayer to St. Clare: The
patron Saint of Television. A plastic statue that resides on his
wall-O-video.  She's a real Saint. Look it up.)
