There are now computers that can be programmed to have a machine do surgeries. Yet these doctors are allowed to risk patients lives and do two surgeries at the same time.

BTW I know about this because one of my former coworkers had to have two surgeries back to back and it took something like 13 hours (there was a break in the middle for 45 minutes to reprogram the machine. Granted her's was gastric intestinal, so I doubt they'd use that for a spinal surgery, but the other one may have been able to.
