How insulting.
"It" didn't save your life. The doctors did.
This, this times 100.
I don’t know whether author has misunderstood what the Da Vinci is or whether he is intentionally misinforming his readers. From the way the article is written, one might have gotten an impression that it is the robot doing the surgery by itself. Which is total nonsense, of course.
Da Vinci is a system controlled by a surgeon-a human being- at the console. It allows procedures that would be otherwise difficult or more invasive, due to its three robotic arms being smaller size than human hands. Additionally, it eliminates tremor of real human hands, and the console itself has a sort of “pseudo-3D” screen, which grats depth perception compared to, say, laparoscopic surgical screens.
It’s been incredible tool in treatment many areas of human surgery, notably prostate cancer surgery and hysterectomy, among others. And it takes an experienced surgeon to operate it.
The article is EXTREMELY clear about what Da Vinci is and why he's grateful to it. It's your comment that's total nonsense
