@PROFILESophiaYates I just wanted to point out that hackers are such a problem now a days that this might not be such a good idea

[PROFILESophiaYates]

@kylelund453324 I understand

[kylelund453324]

At 5:11, the '3D multi-modality scanner' sent in to collect data, created such intense magnetic fields ...that it took the stethoscope being worn by the avatar shown, and KILLED her with it. Remember: ALWAYS take off metal items before being CAT scanned!! hehe

[PROFILESophiaYates]

@doceigen Oh that's so good! I know that's 4 real. What was I thinking!

[doceigen]

Reality 101: No hospital system will be implemented as an robotics only experience, so it should be realized this is just a demo piece. Second, robotics are an augmentation to standard care, not a replacement for what already exists. Third, as this piece points out, the majority of change will be in organization, tracking, logistics and ACCOUNTABILITY!... rather than 'droidish' robotic surgery.

This is wrong; the antithesis of healing.

[PROFILESophiaYates]

@slipperypete619 Not sure what u meant by this being wrong. Im not sure about having a robot operate on me either, but I can see it the wave of the future. If u have the recent Times Magazine DEC 13th 2010 there's an article on Surgery & the Rise of the Robots. It's an interesting article & brought me back to when I use to assemble Electronic devices under microscope. It wasn't that hard. Good hand & eye coordination a must. And patience.

[slipperypete619]

@PROFILESophiaYates ...the healing process should be a celebration.

[PROFILESophiaYates]

@slipperypete619 your actually correct on that I think. Ive seen recent articles on robotic surgery ect & Im sure most is safe but the human connection of touch & emotion is lost in a way for healing. I don't think if I was seriously ill but alert my mind would rather have a human being present than a Video display w a person talking to me. I'd love someone to come in my room open my blinds touch my hand & smile to my face.

No hospitals after uploading.

RFID TAG? Do they insert you with an RFID chip while you are there??? Not for me.

[87shanna]

cool!

[maxxweber]

Hospital of the future or hospital of 1984? Where are the people?  What a cold and unfeeling environment!

[jalina64]

This is so cool i can't wait

till we get to go to the hospital

[plaque222]

how do you start the simulation

[RespiratoryANBU]

I gotta go back to Escondido to see Palomar West. Funny it opens when I graduate...

I think I'm too attached to old Palomar though, I know that place inside and out.

6:14 Seymour II !! lol

[DirkSchooner]

Scary network doctor. lacks a little 'bedside manner'

[Bettinatizzy]

Utilizing SL for this purpose - followed by machinima - is surely the future of most major constructions. It's a no-brainer, really. Good job!

[PROFILESophiaYates]

Oleetezel lol I hit the wrong button and deleted your comment by accident. Just woke up having coffee and bam! Need more coffee. Eyes r foggy still.

Anyway I'll be posting a series on hospitals in SL. Thanks!!

@PROFILESophiaYates

[PROFILESophiaYates]
