The Da Vinci “robot” is actually a telesurgical tool which does not utilize any motions independent of the surgeon operating it. What was likely used in this massive cluster f*ck was an autonomous surgical robot analagous to a self driving car. Link

Jah, Jah-— those precision german/chinese gear heads with incredible faith in autonomous ...... programming.

Faith in programming..... faith in programmers and in machinery that is not.... guided by a trained HUMAN surgeon.

But National Health System loves this because it “eliminates” liability they don’t have for their actions— blame it on the “machine”.

Father in law had Laparoscopic (assume robotically assisted) Aortic valve replacement through a small hole (no chest cracking).

Would like to know what machine this was, and how with any sense of conscience the UK NHS would allow this to continue.
