Tweets From Surgical Suites
Three surgeons in Detroit rotated between working on a patient’s brain while watching a computer screen. They typed answers to tweeted questions which were sent in by medical students.
In another town, joint surgery was performed on a patient while a live-tweet session was in progress.
Overall, there have been a number of surgeries performed in the USA using Twitter in the background.
It’s becoming a useful educational aid in the medical field.
Hmmm…
They’re now tweeting live operations.
It’s the latest surgical sensation.
They’ll cut through a bone,
While using the phone,
You can see it while you’re on vacation.
Humorous Interludes by Ron Yarosh 
Miracle Makes Man Manipulate Machine
There’s a man who is conscious, but totally paralyzed. It’s known as the “Locked-in” syndrome.
He has learned how to control a computer with his eye movements.
His eye movements produce text on a computer.
He can now send tweets using his eyes.
It’s a miracle.
Hmmm…
A paralyzed man can now tweet,
For him it’s really quite sweet,
His eyes do the work,
A wonderful perk,
That’s really a great unique feat.
