Elective Surgery
While traveling in another country, Jack felt unwell and went to the local emergency room. There the doctor told him he needed a triple bypass and should replace an aortic valve. “Never fear,” said the doctor, “we have the latest robotic surgery equipment; in fact, here, let me take you to see an operation in progress from the balcony in the operating room.” After a few minutes, Jack elected to wait until he returned home for a second opinion and further treatment. . . . .
