On: Surgeons send 'tweets' from operating room

[tom_rath]

Personally, I'd prefer someone not be 'with it' whilst poking about my guts. Of the skills I'd be seeking in a surgeon, multi-tasking tweet-master is not among them.

Aren't brief audio-notes (or a full video) enough reference for composing a detailed account of the operation after-the-fact?

That's the problem with CNN links. Dig deeper, and you find that the chief resident (not the surgeon) was responsible for the tweets.
