Not surprised about the surgery robot company failing to meet revenue goals.

Surgeons are well-paid, treated as heroes and influential. Replace them with a robot? Ha. That isn't going to play well.

Autonomous specialists are all going to meet considerable resistance. Specialists wield power in their area, and have little incentive to change.

Further, the medical profession for all it's modern look, is about the most conservative group at adopting new tech. They're still using pagers for God's sake.
