If it was for a different surgery, I’d absolutely agree. I had a bilateral salpingectomy and it was hard enough to find someone who would perform a sterilization surgery on someone my age with no kids. Another doctor at the practice was highly skilled in laparoscopies and recommended to me by others, but she laughed in my face when I asked her.

I had a surgeon tell me he could use a laparoscope for what I was having done, but he wasn’t very confident with it and would prefer to do it by hand. I dealt with the slightly larger surgical scar and extra week of recovery instead of testing this guy’s robot handling.

Like a mini version of the dog catcher thing.
