Dr. Teodor Grantcharov, a minimally invasive surgeon at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, is a major proponent of using Google Glass in the operating room. Here, he can be seen wearing the device.Google Glass is a kind of glass that combined all the function of smart phone and computer. This Glass has a screen on the lens, and it will show many things. It is very cool, and it can actually change the way that the surgeons operate in the operating room. The Advantage of google glass is: google glass is able to capture video of what the wearer sees. If the surgeon is operating, the video can goes around the world, so if the patient is having some critical, rare or the surgeon is just sucks, the doctor that experienced this condition before can help the doctor and might save the patient’s life. Also, the lens itself is not very expensive, it’s around $500. Google Glass theoretically works, but no one will know how it will actually work in the operating room.

In my opinion, I really like this glass and I’ve always waited for this glass actually come out. This glass looks so cool, just like those devices from the movies. In my opinion, this thing might really change the face of surgery. Imagine that if you are lying on the operating table and there is something really go wrong with you, and your doctor have no idea how to save you. But here is google glass, it sent the video to some one that’s really good, and that doctor coached your surgeon, and you were saved. That will be awesome.  I hope it can actually come out with a 500$ prize and I hope it can actually save people.
