Reading Journal Task-11 B. Sinem Göncü

Dear Bravo Students,

I'd like to assign the eleventh reading journal task from Chapter 11.

You will be focusing on COMMON POINTS you've come across from Chapter 11 and Weekend Extra Reading (Chapter 11).

Your journals are due next Thursday.

Late journal entries will not be accepted and assessed as of this week. All journal entries should be done on the web. Pen-and-paper submissions will be returned.

  1. READING JOURNAL - 11
    50 years ago, if a person had heard that robotics will be used in operating rooms, they could not have believed their ears. Robotics are useful to reduce the pain, and make smaller incisions after the surgery. It is also less traumatic. In old times, operations were bloody, and stitches did not recover quickly. Now, it is so easy with the da Vinci system. There are only three or four small incisions on the patient's body. This system also takes so much time for neither patients nor surgeons. In this system, doctors use the arms of robotics to remove the problem. Robotics are controlled by the doctors' hand movements. In the fortcoming years, surgeons will not need to be in the operating room. They will do what they want at their offices or homes. If I hear that everything is being done by robotics about medical issues or another thing, it will not surprise me. We are living in the technology age. Technology is growing up day by day, so it put in an appearance in everywhere. There is only one point which is bad for some people. Technological ways like the da Vinci system roll in so much money because they have not became widespread yet. When robotics are cheaper, they will save much more people's lifes.

    Once upon a time, a surgical operations require a dozen people in order to recover a patient, but they have been unnecessary since robots were used in hospitals. Although few hospitals have this robotic technologies such as the da Vinci robot, robotic technologies have a sign to supplant traditional methods because they have a number of advantages such as less bleeding, smaller incisions, less pain, rapid recovery. On the other hand, robotic technologies which are used for medical aren't affordable for people who earn low income. Also, robotic technologies are already in improvement process. In other words, they are already new. However, within ten years, they are going to become most useful treatment method. On the other hand, there are some technological equipment and system such as ultrasound machines, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),positron emission tomography(PET),and lasers. They are also helping our health. They have been used for medical for a long time. In other words, we sholdn't underestimate theirs benefits

    Medical Technology:Saving Lives with Robotics
    Nowadays everything which so-called impossible became a reality.Technology is much improved in every subject especially in healthcare field.If someone told that the robotics would be used in operations who did believe that before 20 years ago? No one would believe that, but it is a reality anymore.In the past there were about a dozen people in a operating room.They required more than 2 surgeons, an anesthesiologist,several nurses,and of course the patient, but nowadays it is not like that anymore because robotics are being used in operatings instead several people.They are rigt doing like that because robotics have a lot of advantages.One of the most important advantages is taking less time.Surgeons perform easily a surgery a couple hours with robotics,and they aren not so exhausted when theyre finished.Another advantage is accessibility.The surgeon controls the robotic 'arms' using a computer so using robotic is very easy.On the other hand they have advantages for patient too.Taking less time have this situation be less traumatic for patients,and also the lenght of opening is important for patients.When use robotics, lenght of incision is shorter.We can see easily that robotic surgery is very useful thing from the example which was given in the text.The example about a college student who had kidney cancer.When there was no option for him, he learned robotic surgery, and he decided to have it performed.His kidney and his life were saved due to robotic surgery.Using the robotics in operating is not very common still, but some people who work at Duke University are working to develop robot surgeons,and they believe that robotic surgeons will be common,avaible and affordable after ten years.We will see whether they are justified.

  4. I may sound like repuclicans but I want to share my thoughts about this. I do not think robots should be used in medicine ,I do not think the cold metal hands of technology may be able to feel what doctors feel. That's why i didn't like this writing. Writing is trying to force us to be impressed by the way it tells the story. Its a cheap trick.I find it really scary ,just like alien movies.I would never want to be operated by a robot;something without emotions.Thanks to our book which gave me the opportunity to share my ideas

    Medical Technology:Saving Lives with Robotics

    Technology have been impoved ,and this positive improvement affects our lives in a different ways.In this issue,the author writed one's writing about how technology change our surgery habits or skills.Everbody knows that surgery remembers us painful times ,but as the author mentioned this situation have been changing.Nowadays,every surgery should be present more than one surgeon ,but with using the advantages of the technology this problem looks like going to be remained in the past.Because of robots,many difficult and painful movements can easily achieved without feel any pain.Patients have less bleeding than in the past.The one bad point of the technological surgery is that surgeons can only make small incision with using robots.That's why it couldn't use in the complex surgeries.Despite all,it is possible to control surgery far away from the hospital and it still save too much time.Also,it is giving some patients a chance for living especially for hopeless ones.In my humble opinion,the text was good and I really loved it.
