Peter Weinstock, an Intensive Care Unit physician of Boston Children’s Hospital, and also the speaker of the Ted talk titled “Lifelike simulations that make real-life surgery safer.” He is the director of the Pediatric Simulator Program also, at the Boston Children’s Hospital. Weinstock is a well-educated being, received his PhD in molecular and cell biology from Rockefeller University and furthered his education in clinical training in plastic and general surgery at the University of Pittsburgh.
As you may know, when patients of all ages are sent into the operating room there are some concerns that he or she may not make it back alive. “…we practice on the very patients that we are delivering care to.” (Weinstock, 2016, 3:35). Which is why Peter Weinstock and a team of specialists work together to create simulations that will better prepare the surgeon and his assistants before the …show more content…
First I would like to point out that he was dressed appropriately for his speech, which is very important because a persons appearance is the first thing that someone will take notice about. Weinstock held his hands close to him but gave a little movement when needed, it was not too much or too little, just enough to get the point that he was making across. He kept eye contact at all times and never made any facial expressions that would deteriorate from his speech. Peter Weinstocks verbal and non-verbal behavior was overall effect when giving his speech. Peter Weinstock and his team are constructing lifelike technology that will help surgeons when preparing for an operation. This will not only benefit them in allowing them to practice before performing the procedure but it also allows the patient or the patient loved ones to have trust in that the doctors knows exactly what they are doing. This is a plan to make surgery safer and enabling doctors
