- Meet the robot gynecologist. (Cosmo)
That deodorant ad was really good – you really feel her apprehension. And that she gets a nonchalant “Nice dress!” comment when she goes out, that made my eyes prickle.

The da Vinci robot piece is written in quite a cavalier tone, but I had a radical hysterectomy performed via a da Vinci machine, and am very grateful such technology was available where I live. November 20 will mark two years cancer-free!

Sorry for the cavalier tone of the piece. You’re totally right, and I shoud have looked for one that didn’t approach such an important topic so snarkily. Really glad you’re well.

No need to be sorry! I just wanted to offer another perspective on a piece of equipment that can seem rather creepy.
