Not the Usual Surgery

An important man suffers a serious head injury. It’s a cerebral blood clot requiring surgery. However, it cannot be performed the usual way. Here is an ultra modern method available this day: This is a scientific advance quite difficult to realize. They shrink a submarine and its crew to microscopic size. The ship is injected into the patient’s body. Only a short time is available to reach the injury. The surgeons on the ship use a laser to cut the clot. A maximum time of sixty minutes is all they have got. The patient’s immune system will easily realize when the ship and crew begin to restore to normal size. White blood cells will engulf them and eradicate. The crew has to escape before it is too late. Want to know what will happen in this science fiction fantasy? If it is available, just watch the DVD. Based on the 1966 film “Fantastic Voyage”

good one. It reminds me of a ride I went on at Disneyland, long time ago in the 70's. it was based on that show I think because it felt like you were traveling through the inside of someone's body. I really liked it!!
