As a result, most surgeons report experiencing discomfort while performing minimal-access surgery, a 2022 study found. About one-fifth of surgeons polled said they would consider retiring early because their pain was so frequent and uncomfortable. A good mixed-reality headset, then, might allow a surgeon to look at a patient’s surgical area and, without looking up, virtual screens that show them the laparoscopy camera and a patient’s vitals.

As someone who does this exact thing, no you can't just put the displays somewhere else. None of this shit is wireless. Wireless is verboten in healthcare.

Which leads to my initial reaction: aww poor surgeon has to tilt their head a bunch, perhaps move their torso or even their feet? Of course this is the reason to retire early not the millions they are paid in the corrupt healthcare system.

I'm the motherfucker that let you have displays in the OR. I contorted my body in incredible ways to get that cable to your displays. My body hurts all the time. I cut through walls and spent long nights and early mornings to get those displays working so you only had to slightly move your head.

Bitch ass fucks.

Ok but neither of you should be experiencing workplace injuries. If wireless is unacceptable sterilized wired headsets should be accessible. I don’t want doctors getting RSI

But the vision pro is permitted to use wireless?
