One of the things I love the most about being active in the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce is the cool stuff we get to do at our events.
I rarely attend the monthly morning networking meeting, Coffee On The Coast, as it conflicts with a weekly Realtors meeting, but this month it was on a Friday.
Hosted at Beaches Baptist, which has expanded incredibly in the past few years, I got to "pretend" I was the surgeon with a robotic surgical station. Pictures are below; I was amazed at how small the instruments were, and how easily manipulated with minimal finger movements.
Bringing robotic surgery to Beaches Baptist means Beaches residents no longer have to travel in to town (aka Over The Ditch, which is how the locals/islanders refer to the Intracoastal Waterway).
If you are not active in your local Chamber, you may want to visit and see what you are missing out on!
The above photo is a monitoring station for the surgical assistants and nurses to view what is going on; my station was to the lefft of this.
Above is what the "surgical area" looked like at normal distance.
This is what the surgical area looked like up close; I managed to move the penny as well as tiny rubber band. Super cool!
