"Only wine and cheese improve with age". Fair warning, future fellow robotic workers..
More seriously, the issue of lack of formal training in emerging techniques (note the -40- year olds who have missed the latest hip surgery technique) has nothing to do with 'degraded cognitive abilities due to aging', and really should be discussed in context of a 'continuity of education and certification' regime. It is not an issue of age, rather the time it takes to produce skilled worker in a domain, and the frequency of significant breakthroughs/changes in that domain.

- magduf 7y agoThis really disturbs me. Why wouldn't surgeons be constantly retrained on newer surgical techniques? Shouldn't this be standard procedure? Why should any patient have to suffer with the scars and complications from an old-style surgery instead of a newer less-invasive technique just because some surgeon hasn't bothered getting trained on the newer technique?
