Is surgery going to be oursourced?

There is a billboard that I see on my drive to work that has an ad for a hospital. It boasts about having a Da Vinci machine. After seeing this for the umpteenth time, I finally got around to googling Da Vinci machine. What I found was quite mind blowing.

I remember being told that surgeons were like concert pianists in terms of the skill and training required. A robotic machine makes for a great equalizer. Although the cost is huge, I would guess that they eventually pay for themselves by reducing the number of people required and perhaps eventually in reducing the surgeon’s salary.

Robotic surgery also makes it possible for the surgeon to do the job without being anywhere near the patient. Do you think that it will get to the point where we will be operated on by doctors working in Bangalore?
