All the surgery fields that are marked with REQ must be filled when searched for

Yes I understand your point of view, and its true, but its like the F1 racing, its a highly trained multidisciplinary team of engineers to prepare the best car, but if the team wins, the driver is the one who pops the champagne and get peoples attention.

this robot is made and developed by a team, but the only one who can perform a surgery and risk patient’s life is the surgeon, and the tricky thing is if a procedure goes wrong because multiple causes (robot, surgeon, or patient particularities) surgeon must be prepared to operate the traditional way! so at last is the surgeon who really bears all the responsibility on patient’s life. And that robot costs “gold” so I think the team receives a full check of credit too

Nothing wrong with the content, it just could’ve easily fit into a 3-minute TED talk if she hadn’t addressed the room like a bunch of slow retards.

Oh wow she was so full of shit that I almost felt like disregarding the content.

the next step would be to give the camera, with its arms, an independent body – remove the tube and make it wireless – have the patient ingest it at night – the micro robot performs its task then disintegrates in the intestines.

I liked the video but there is one thing that bothers me. So much of the work done on surgical robotics or any other medical field is done not by MD’s but biomedical/mechanical/electrical engineers, chemists, etc. who do not get the credit they deserve. These are the people behind the scenes that make the new awesome tehcnology work. The surgeon who put in your pacemaker saved your life but so did the engineers who designed the pacemaker. Modern medicine does not come from MD’s alone.

The truth is for the longest time the unform of the surgeon was that of the leather apron, just like the butcher. The surgeon was a “sawbones” capable of amputation and blistering and that was it. It wasn’t until after WWI and the introduction of antibiotics that the surgeon adopted the uniform of the scientist, the white coat, to try to legitimize his skill as a medical science and not just human butchery. The history of surgery was pain, blood, death and incompetence.

As someone who has just had a heart attack I really appreciate Catherine Mohr’s lecture. Having a new `situational empathy` in life I really appreciate and affirm her closing remarks. Catherine is obviously a highly gifted lady and her passion to share and inspire with touch more lives than she will ever know.

Its a lot more complicated than that.

This is only the very basics of robotic surgery. It has actually advanced a lot more than this. There is even remote robotic surgery where the surgeon can sit at his home and perform the surgery from there while the robots do the surgery wherever. Especially used in Australia in remote places where hospitals aren’t close by.
All this sounds really exciting but then comes the thought if you’re gonna become a surgeon, you need to forget most other things in your life. Its a very intense job.

drawing a conclusion without scientific evidence is unscientific? well durr that’s exactly what i just said to you. which is exactly why i called you an idiot because i new you would come back with that “you immediatly dismiss it therefore you are wrong” argument. i dissmiss it because it has already been proven wrong, i took no position at first, and once i heard more about it i came to release that it was just religion without the god.

Drawing a conclusion without evidence is unscientific.
Buddhism teaches that you arent punished for your anger but by your anger. I think it is this punishment which makes you feel the need to insult me.

That was so inspiring! I’m working through First Year Health Sciences in the hopes of a place in Med School. This talk has fueled my passion for Medicine and given me a new perspective of the technologies of Medicine that I had never dreamed of before. That was truely, truely amazing!!

It seems like your so indoctrinated you can’t even consider the possibility of science working with Zen principles. Science should have taught you not to be so closed minded.
You can call Zen Buddhism a religion but those same people would call Science a religion too. Buddhism is quite logical and is sometimes used as a supplement to psychology.
