In such procedures, the surgeon's hands never enter the patient.

So who do you sue the doctor or the computer??

So who do you sue the doctor or the computer??

When in doubt, name them all!

Oh great - depending on MS windows, and now the "blue screen of death" takes on an even more somber meaning.

We had the "blue screen of death" experience when we were in the doctor's office to have the ultrasound done prior to the birth of our daughter. Everything is going smoothly, the procedure is over, and as soon as the ultrasound technician goes to save the image/video file that she had recorded, boom - the system crashes, and nothing was written to the hard drive (the computer was running MS Windows, FYI). She had to do a hard reboot and then redo the whole procedure. We sort of laughed it off, but I'm much more aware of the "what if's" of a computer crash during some sort of sensitive medical procedure.
