A hole the size of a pencil point. This technique is already being used to remove tumors, broken vertebrae, and heart surgery, as some examples.

You can even replace a heart valve through minimally invasive surgery. Find out how it works!

Invasive surgery is amazing. A few years ago I had to have my appendix removed into used invasive surgery to do it with it an hour out of surgery I was able to get up and walk around with very little pain. Back before that kind of thing it would take 6 weeks of recovery to be able to do that. Modern technology and the surgeons and doctors are incredible they're the real heroes not some football player who makes an impossible touchdown. Is the doctors in the surgeons in the developed technology that are the real heroes. These people these nurses and these doctors literally saved my life and I didn't even have a painful recovery because of modern technology and knowledge. I don't think we appreciate our doctors enough or the technology that aids us and makes me angry because it's unfair. Doctors work very hard to gain that skill and knowledge. They removed an organ from me and saved my life and I wasn't even in pain afterward and was able to move like normal due to them and Technology and no one really cares. 20 years ago I wouldn't be able to get out of bed for 6 weeks and the next day I was literally able to walk downtown and work at my job due to modern technology and the people who work hard to fix hurt people. They have to go through 8 years of Hard College work then work under an experienced doctor for a while before they go on their own and they use that skill and knowledge to save people's lives. Surgeons and doctors can work 16 hours straight without using the bathroom or sleeping or having a single break doing an operation on a person just to fix them or improve their health on a stranger. They don't even know this person and they're working incredibly hard just to save their life or help them feel better when they feel a little bit sick and yet acts like it's not that important. These people are the real heroes. They literally keep you from dying and spend years of their life working to develop that skill to save you and it's like no one cares and I think that's a shame. We cheer for a football players scoring a goal but these doctors literally remove organs and fix people who are going to die if the doctor was not there and yet everyone acts like it's just a normal everyday thing and it's not and sometimes it makes me upset. I'm in disbelief to be honest now that I have time to reflect and think about it. You know the hours spent calculating and developing technology to make things easier into Aid these people is incredible. It's the best thing you can do with your life and the average person doesn't even care. The development of Technology knowledge in the skills that we enjoy every day whether it's smartphone or a life-saving surgery people don't really care or think about that. These people literally give us Magic and we take it for granted
