What, like a surgical laser?
"Okay, hold really still..."
- hinkley 1y agoYeah and I think this and radiological tools are why chemo tattoos exist. The system has to react to the twitch you can’t control when a weird noise happens next to your head. Instead of stabbing bolts into your skull through your skin with a device Torquemada would have been proud of, they target versus the dots and if the dots move? Well this is where my knowledge runs out. Either they shut down the beam or they target in realtime. But either way the payload is delivered where it’s supposed to be or not at all. I don’t know if they are using laser scalpels in surgery. My medical fascination mostly ends at diagonostics and experimental procedures. If I don’t know anyone with a disorder I tend not to hear about new procedures. My friend in college was helping a prof work on picosecond violet lasers and now we are on femtosecond.

- mmastrac 1y agoAt femtoseconds, assuming your tracking matches, you could probably sit a sugar-loaded kid in a chair without instructions and just make it work.
- hinkley 1y agoProbably like watching people play war sims with a sniper rifle. Just waiting for the crosshairs to bounce over the target’s head and then blam. Bigger problem I suspect is children with white coat syndrome. When I was a kid doctors got away with being monstrous to children.
