After reading Jacqueline Owen's "Robotic Surgery" it made me view the robotic movement in medicine differently. In the writing the author talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the use of robotic surgeries today.
Siding with Owen, we too believe that the advantages of robotic surgery far out weigh the disadvantages. Just cutting down on the recovery time to us is a large advantage. It is commonly known that just because someone make it out of surgery, that sometime due to complications during recovery can lead to a person becoming sicker or even dying. Less pain for the patient will also insure a more speedy and comfortable recovery and that is important.
yes, there are disadvantages to the use of robots in the operating room, but these same advantages also coincide with those of a human surgeon. No one person or thing is without faults or the ability to make a mistake or malfunction if you will. But if there is a way to minimize the overall cost of a surgical procedure for a patient, while also minimizing the patients recovery time, I do not understand why more hospital are not doing all they can do to make sure these robots are available in their hospitals.
Although your argument agrees with Owen, you haven't expounded on supportive statements of your own. This is simply a regurgitation from the text without regard for other "advantages" Owen did not discuss. I propose adding more original thoughts in your next post. Good job! -Lauren Lamar
ReplyDeleteThe point of our post was to restate what the author talked about and to give our opinion based entirely on the information given in the piece. There was no research done on this subject and none of the readers were familiar with it. We again, solely gave our opinion based on what we read from Owen's piece.
