Time for prison.
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
Agree; unfortunately prison may be the only way to slow down this insanity and rethink what sort of monster we are creating
I doubt it. It appears that the patient willingly volunteered to be "guinea pig" for this operation and if so, the hospital likely has all their paperwork in order including signed waivers of liability and so forth.
A civil case could be made by the patient's family if indeed the doctors were not adequately trained and what not as the article implies.
If however, the patient did not realize he would be operated on by a robot, all bets are off and jail time could result for those involved. But I have a hard time believing that a hospital would be that stupid. My wife had an operation recently and I had to sign about a dozen forms for that so I know hospitals are extra careful about exposing themselves to liability.
