More than 20 surgeries have recently been completed by headset-wearing surgeons at UC San Diego Health

As a result, most surgeons report experiencing discomfort while performing minimal-access surgery, a 2022 study found. About one-fifth of surgeons polled said they would consider retiring early because their pain was so frequent and uncomfortable. A good mixed-reality headset, then, might allow a surgeon to look at a patient’s surgical area and, without looking up, virtual screens that show them the laparoscopy camera and a patient’s vitals.

    Surgeons are some of the worst people I’ve had the displeasure to interact with, and I meet people all over the US for healthcare work. I can’t imagine the difficulty people have of teaching a living god a new way of doing their work.

      For it to have any chance you’d have to get it introduced in med school and brought with so those gods can demand the hospital cater to their wills.
