"Pappone is confident that his machine is at least as competent as a human surgeon. In fact, the robot has more experience than some of its human equivalents."
"These surgical robots may not be perfect currently, with time their accuracy and scope of knowledge will only increase, and eventually they will surpass human surgeons for a majority of cases. I think a lot of us are confused by medical dramas we see on TV, such as House - which I enjoy - which tend to show us the rare cases where seemingly routine cases suddenly take an unexpected and complicated turn and only the supersmart doctors can figure it out. But that's fiction, it's done for drama's sake. 99.9% of surgeries are very straightforward, and after this robot has performed/learned say 100,000 surgeries it will be very capable of handling just about anything."
"Being a doctor myself, I am enthusiastic about our robotic future. I would welcome a robot's helping hand in the hospital. Human-robot integration is our future and so I'd feel great WHEN my doctor becomes a robot for this is, I think, an inevitability."
"Another job sector that can be completely outsourced to India"
