Honestly, this won't hurt a bit

A NEW generation of robots could help doctors get rid of the claims that they bury their mistakes, by giving accurate responses and helping medics deal with lifelike situations in safety.

Like flight simulators, the robot bodies react to the doctors’ moves and can cry, bleed and even have heart attacks.

The Simman 3g from Laerdal is no tailor’s dummy: the wifi links, hydraulics and software mean medics will have experience of life-threatening conditions before they meet them in real life.
