My Surgeon said he doesn't even use laser guided OR tools; he uses good old 'feel' technology. Went to a seminar years later @ Cleveland Clinic where he works/had my surgery and he said that then. Some kids @ work had the same disease and I'd tell parents that though there is no cure, you feel better, much better after surgery. One in 500 have it and most don't know it.

Jeff: l was thinking of the day when surgeons would show up, simply program the machines to cut you open, fix what's not right, sew you up and get you on your way while the surgeon goes over the paperwork signs off on the procedure. Kinda like the machines that put Lord Vader together after he's failed duel with Obi Wan..

Anyways have an outstanding weekend and win something, something big. As Van Halen sang That's what dreams are made of.

For the life of me and too lazy to Google it we did not have robotic heart surgery where I retired from (PICU). Where I had my heart surgery they did and that was almost 10 years ago. Luckily with my disease I had a world famous heart surgeon work on me--and my employer that did adult hearts right across the street---approved and paid for it. May never win the lottery, but my health is worth all the lottery wins in the world

This behavior is reminiscent of the Toll Takers for the bridges in the Bay Area. Management often decides to remove the human factor by displacing these hard workers with machines technology. They already have machines doing knee surgery, just you wait till they decide to have machines do brain open heart surgery while the doctor is having a sandwich catching up on yesterday's soap opera. Blame it on something, great way to cover your A

These former employees deserve a generous severance package. Because the fourth year in a row the corporation brought in more than $400 million. CAD Canadian Dollars.

I hope they win big with future tickets.
