Robot Births

Great tool for teaching and reviewing staff performance during child birth. Who would have thought a
pregnant robot would be teaching and preparing our doctors and nursing staff, to hone their skills.
I would much rather make a mistake with a simulation, than a real live birth. Lives will be saved from  the births ,of a robot babies. Having dealt with all manner of complications in the birthing process,without a loss in life.... plus the knowledge and experience gained......"Priceless."

Stunning Pictures
