Hi all:
See below for an interesting article that mentions what occurs when patients can make informed decisions wrt treatment options.
Note there is not much mention of cost savings by having shorter hospital stays, less blood loss, & quality of life.
Take care,
Glen

The NHS centres lost patients to richer, bigger hospitals able to buy the £1.5million machines - but researchers have warned there is no evidence the robots are better than surgeons.
