[TheForge] OT: Unsettling news

[Dan Brewer]

Last year a friend of mine had his prostate removed here in Seattle. The
surgeon used a series of robotic arms to remove it.  The surgery left a very
small incision and his sex life is much of what it was before the surgery.
Ask you surgeon about micro surgery.
