They “Matrix uploaded” the euthanasia program.
“I know jujitsu”........
First-time use......yeah, that’s a clue.
Yeah, thats another thing. The track record on them ain’t so good. Autonomous cars have killed several IIRC. But hey, it’s all in the name of PROGRESS.
A key provision of the doctor’s ancient Hypotactic oath is: “First, do no harm”. I guess robots don’t take that oath.
This happened in February 2015. Why the story now?
This is a stupid article
It sounds like they were not out sipping latte’s, they were there trying to control the robot
EVERY procedure has a ‘first time’ and more often than yu would like, it goes 100% wrong.
Jailing them is a stupid offhand remark
Single payer healthcare - NHS on the job!
Now with robots!
BIL agreed to robot surgery in N. Texas. Serious complications.
Until all my computers are flawless, and they will never be, I will never trust a self-driven car, truck or robotic surgery.
“NURSE! YOU PRESSED THE ‘CUT UP RARE STEAK’ BUTTON!”
I have to confess I’m reminded of the “facial makeup” robot in the repair facility in Wall-E that goes berserk on your face - only with a hand full of steak knives and working on your internal organs.
Supposedly he had a 99% survival rate, if he had been operated on in a conventional fashion.
Agree; unfortunately prison may be the only way to slow down this insanity and rethink what sort of monster we are creating
There’s a documentary on medical devices on Netflix.
These robots are used with a day or two’s worth of training.
Avoid.
This is a prime argument against a government run healthcare system.
This was a first time use of new equipment in a risk procedure to operate on a human heart. Patient not advised this was an experimental first time procedure. Surgeons assigned not trained in use of the equipment. A competent surgeon would have refused to do the operation knowing he wasn’t qualified suggesting the licensing and education process in the UK government health care system is deficient. No process in place to ensure surgeons undertaking the operation are competent and properly trained in the new equipment. Supervisors leave during the most critical point in the procedure. No one is accountable for failure.
Surgeons Sukumaran Nair and Thasee Pillay should be fired for incompetence. Of course government employees are never fired. These “surgeons” are probably doing heart surgery today.
Not so much in Logan's Run.
“the attempted surgery ended up being nothing short of a complete failure.”
Gee, ya think?!
Thank you for that captain obvious.
It’s going to be a real sales job to get the next volunteer.
The machines are finally taking over.
But....really....if he actually agreed to have a robot operate on his heart?
It’s the U.K. (and the dimbulbcrat’s hope for the U.S).
When the gubmit (consisting largely of those who really couldn’t do anything else because they just do not have the intelligence or talent) runs things, this is what you get. Best and brightest, my Obamahole.
