This👇is the reason for the popularity of robot in 🇺🇸rural surgical settings in particular: the surgeon doesn't need as many extra hands to assist. Focusing on clinical outcomes alone doesn't reveal the prosaic, practical reasons behind this shift in surgical practice

If you don’t want the ICC to issue a warrant for your arrest for war crimes, maybe you shouldn’t commit war crimes.
