I love robot movies.

Did you see Surrogates with Bruce Willis?
Everyone has a surrogate robot who does their job for them while humans hibernate
with drugs and video games.

It gets dicey when Bruce Willis who is a detective has to come out of hibernation
to solve a case. Willis did a really great acting job, he plays his human self and his robot self.

Robot and Frank is a good robot movie too.
An older man, a curmudgeon, is given a robot by his kids.

I loved the robopsychologist in I Robot.
Can you imagine that as a specialty area?

I have heard of it, but never knew anyone who actually had their surgery done by a robot.

How did it go?

I assume there was an MD supervising said robot?

I picture a little Wall-E robot merrily operating on you.

but it was a robot with a human surgical team. Had it done January 10th, and 6 months later, it’s still swollen and that evidently is normal......they say give it a year. So, it’s good, it still fat, so I will give it a year. But it’s fine but that.

Yes it takes time for swelling to go down.
I myself am not always patient, I like to be 100% right away.

in my area. In my circumstances, I had someone else do my surgery.
