NEW MEDIA: Software Surgery
It was just a month or so ago that I mentioned somewhere an idea of a computer game that mimicked surgery, showing the inside of the human body that can both be a learning experience and a fun (buzzer sounds–you've nicked an artery!) playing game. Now don't scowl at me; there was a game called Operation by Hasbro that's still in existence after many decades.
But the reality has come to pass, and it's for real surgeons. As a learning tool, I would think it's a marvelous idea, and as a focus on individual surgery, it's got to be an aid that can greatly enhance the chances of sucessful surgery. After all, with so many more surgeries becoming the less-invasive robotic method, this would seem a natural pre-op measure.
Now, someone should come up with a reasonable version for those budding surgeons out there.
