Plastic Patient
The revolutionary human patient simulator medical teaching tool
Hal is a life-size mannequin worth a quarter of a million dollars who's helping trainee surgeons learn how to handle real emergencies.
He breathes in oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide, he has a pulse, and he responds to injected drugs. The mannequin is part of a sophisticated computer capable of creating an infinite number of scenarios. It also helps to teach what to do if things go wrong, something that can't be practised on real people. Even though the stakes are lower, it feels very real.
