Last summer as I was working at the Montreal Neurological Institute in the Patients' Committee, I witnessed the introduction of a new piece of technology for neurosurgery. It involves the neurosurgery students into a simulated surgery of the brain where they can feel the brain with probes, see a 3D brain as they cut, poke the brain... There will be no more: "Resident: Hi, I will be operating on your brain! Patient: Have you done this before??? Resident: Not really, you're my first!!!!"
Over the summer, a patient's room of multiple beds in 4 North was transformed into a locked conference room, where they presented this new technology and where possibly the students will practice.
