So true. In cases where teeth don't get out as easily as intended, they are sliced, hammered and broken out of your jaw - feels so medieval.

Uhm... do you now how bones get repaired? Only the easiest fractures are allowed to heal themselves. Everything worse than that looks like this: https://teachengineeringprod.blob.core.windows.net/content/cub_/activities/cub_biomed/Images/cub_biomed_lesson10_activity1_image1web.jpg https://teachengineeringprod.blob.core.windows.net/content/c...

  Orthopedic surgery is indeed a lot like wood working. Surgeons use saws and drills routinely in the operating room.

  Made a quick youtube search for latest surgery tech, all I saw was a sewing burning scissors. Cute tech but still barbaric to me. Artery is even more gruesome, plumber. I wish to see organ generation take off somehow.

    If you're looking for some interesting surgery tech, check out this fairly simple concept for handling battlefield trauma situations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBauDwhGlzg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBauDwhGlzg

      End part is tough to watch. It's cute tech, and for that context very useful. In civil surgery I want the organic equivalent of this.

    Upcoming tech is targeting the WNT pathway to rebuild cartilage.
