I am pretty excited. I go to the hospital to volunteer, and the daVinci Robot is just sitting in the lobby. They were letting people play with it. 😎 So I used it to pick up a penny and some rubber bands.

Turns out it was a celebration of it's 600th surgery. I got a cupcake! 🙄

Just thought I'd share. I know some of you have probably done much more clinical hands on surgical type stuff than me, but I got to play with the robot. 😛

What is really cool is when a hospital has a simulation device for the DaVinci. It's like playing a video game, and it really builds skill with the real thing.

I had no idea what it was so I looked it up.

Incredibly cool machine, lucky to get to play with it.
