Prostate surgeries are a source of profound nervousness among men, because there’s no way to get at them that doesn’t involve a very sensitive area. A doctor wanted to reassure his patient that it’s AOK for a robot to either operate on your groin or go all Lemmiwinks on you…so he decided to shoot a video of him peeling a grape with the robot.
First of all, we love robots here, but there are some things you just can’t reassure us about, and a robot with lots of razor-sharp blades potentially violating us in a private place pretty much tops the list. We don’t care if it can peel a grape. We care that it doesn’t look like a torture device that we’re going to subject anything below the waist to…which is exactly what it looks like. The completely unreassuring video, complete with, no kidding, a couple of stabbings, under the jump.
Yeah, if one of us ever has to go under the knife with that thing, the rest of us are making sure he gets all the drugs.
