Surgical robot....what could go wrong? Well apparently EVERYTHING.
They work perfectly in Star Wars.
And they want robot driven cars on the roads?.....................
Surgical robots in the long run will be a lot safer than doctors. One or even a dozen incidents blown out of proportion will not make the current rate of medical malpractice seem safer.
More than 250,000 people in the United States die every year because of medical mistakes, making it the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. So, you think your drunken, tired, doped up disgruntled physician is safer? They are not all either a drunk or drug addicted or disgruntled, but plenty are.
Only new to the UK apparently. Robotic ASSISTED surgery has been common in the US for decades.
