Observing an Open Heart Surgery

I am getting the opportunity of a life time and getting to sit in on an open heart surgery.

I am undecided if I want to observe a CABG Procedure, or a Valve replacement surgery. There are also other open heart procedures as well but these are the most common. Can anyone who has experience is the OR, tell me which one would be better to observe.

I want to make sure I am also going to last majority of the time standing as well.

Question to Fellows

Hi everyone, PGY-III medicine resident here. I did not apply for fellowship this cycle and have been ~moderately~ interested in cardiology. I have 2 papers published in the European Heart Journal but I still don't know whether I want to be a hospitalist or not, mainly because I am very burnt out from residency at a mid-tier program (top 40). My question is, is cardiology fellowship truly worse than intern year of Internal Medicine? That's what the fellows at my program say and I don't know many fellows at other programs. Question #2: How many weekends do you have per year?

Thanks!
