This is more of a questions- Is there any psychological issues with the patient being operated on by metalic arms rather than the human hands of surgeon? That is- is there anyone saying anything about such a thing?
And as an added note - where are the savings if the machine has got to be paid for. No, patients are not in the hospital as long, possibly, but that cost has got to be carried over to paying for the machine.

Ok Mr. C., I fell for it the first time but I'm having a difficult enough time keeping myself alive with CPM, (Central Pontine Myelinolsis) ou know that disorder/disease that just popped up 50 years ago. BTW, have a another new name for it. How about MSP??? Multiple Sclerosis w/ a Parkinsons kicker. Hey A... After 30 Plus years as a professional in the "Furniture Industry," please tell me what does not have a severe shot of MARKETING in it??? As you know, I now also have over six years in trying to assist all the others who sadly enough, their metabolism also couldn't shake off the toxicity that the 48 to 72 hour MS on the iatrogenic marathon "In Hiding," helped the marketing ploy.
A.C. my friend, it's a shame to say when one marketing $$$$$ maker goes "Belly Up," (not in actual life or death) another is shortly behind it. G-d Bless and a Healthy Holiday to You.
