What a lack of cardiac surgeons means for care in Quebec
Quebec’s medical specialists signed a new deal with the province last April. But has that agreement stopped their departure from Quebec? Quebec has 44 practicing cardiac surgeons, and according to Dr. Louis Perrault, president of the Association of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons of Quebec, that number is lower than it should be — and its affecting the surgery backlog.

There is a quiet moment most surgeons never speak about – the one that happens not in the operating room, but in the car before walking in. The pause.

The #robot does not replace #surgeons but enhances their ability to carry out complex operations via very tiny incisions, with greater #accuracy and #precision. Nine in 10 of all keyhole surgeries, such as the removal of certain organs affected by #cancer, will be delivered with robot assistance within the next 10 years https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7v8176z7dlo

Surgeons Rebuild Boy's Jaw Using His Own Rib Bone, Allowing Him To Breathe And Eat On His Own

A seven-year-old boy from Bath, England, is enjoying a brand-new chapter of life after surgeons rebuilt his jaw using pieces of his own ribs—an extraordinary operation that now allows him to breathe, eat, and swallow on his own for the first time. Treacher Collins syndrome.

Also this is FAR cheaper than spending $1000s on skills-training simulators for endoscopic surgery. As a department, I mean.

The trick is managing skill progression. So after a month, the clear glass plate has to go, then after another month we have to start adhering the snacks to the machine, etc, etc...

Obviously the advanced vending machine will be very difficult to steal from, and the surgeons will have to put it through a CT scanner first to understand the internal layout, before attempting surgery upon it.
