Doctor uses iPad to conduct remote surgery in Gaza
This story is about a group of doctors that can do surgeries just through the screen of an iPad. The software that they use to do the surgeries is called Proximie. You can do the surgeries from hundreds of miles away, which is what the doctor Abu-Sitta did to show his colleagues how to conduct a blast injury that affects the hand. How it works is you get 2 smartphones or tablets connected to the Internet to show a live feed of the operation. Then, the person that is not doing the surgery can make a mark on the screen of where they should do the incision.
I find this very interesting because technology has come a long way, and these are one of the pieces of evidence that technology isn’t all that bad. It shows that you can use technology to do anything, which in the future, it will be even more advanced and easier to use. I found this information on http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/24/health/telesurgery-proximie-beirut-gaza/index.html
