In this month, I honestly didn't do anything with my mentor except see him on September 4th. He went on vacation right afterwords till the 22nd and I haven't seen him since. But when I did see him on the 4th, I got to see part of a surgery which was interesting.
The most interesting thing regarding my senior project was probably the Research Checks. I was finally able to decide on specific articles rather than random articles. I researched Angina and Coronary Artery Disease. Angina is basically chest pain which can potentially lead to a heart attack. And coronary artery disease is the number 1 killer in America. I also researched about robotic surgery, remote surgery, and similar things. It was quite fascinating how doctors can now and on a mass scale in the future will be operating on their patient while not operation on their patient; they will be in a different room controlling a robot. One robot that exists right now is the Da Vinci. Another is ZEUS.
I hope to talk with my mentor in October so that I can set up times to meet with him and mentor under him.
