From the Ted Talk by Steven Schwaitzberg: A universal translator for surgeons
Unscramble the Blue Letters
So I want to talk to you about two things tonight. Number one: Teaching surgery and doing surgery is really hard. And second, that language is one of the most prfunood things that saprtaee us all over the world. And in my little corner of the wlrod, these two things are actually related, and I want to tell you how tonight.
Now, nobody wants an operation. Who here has had surgery? Did you want it? Keep your hands up if you wanted an operation. Nobody wants an operation. In particular, nobody wants an operation with tools like these through large isnioicns that cause a lot of pain, that cause a lot of time out of work or out of school, that leave a big scar. But if you have to have an operation, what you really want is a minimally invasive oiratpeon. That's what I want to talk to you about tonight — how doing and teaching this type of surgery led us on a search for a better universal translator.
