Surgical robot

One of the best parts of working in public relations at a medical center is occasionally getting to see and do things most people don't get the chance to.

Today we had an open house for our new surgical robot and I got to take the controls.

From this console, the doctor (me, in this case)
controls the robotic arms...


...which perform the surgery across the room


Pretty cool, huh?
