Description

In the operating room, robots allow MultiCare surgeons to perform complex and precise procedures – such as playing the retro board game “Operation” - without triggering that annoying buzzer.  

In an epic battle of man vs. machine, an unskilled human plays “Operation” against a surgical robot controlled by Dr. Stephen Poore at MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital in Tacoma, Wash. Dr. Poore is certified on the da Vinci Surgical System and specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology.
