Machining a Next-Gen Spinal Implant: My PhD in 9 minutes

Seeing technology in medicine is always interesting, but seeing the frontline being pushed further is double that.

I have seen a lot of people who suffer from pinched nerves between the spinal discs, (and I hope I'm saying this correctly :D), how disturbing it can be, and how hard it is to live with that.

I often wonder why it's THAT difficult to resolve certain medical conditions, but every time I try to dig into it, I face a huge wall of incredibly complex invisible issues holding back the medicine.

This video demonstrates one such initiative and the problems it faces - shows development, explains why certain actions over others, why not alternative paths and many more.

It's hard to imagine how small some of the scales he mentions truly are, but he does an amazing job of giving a real-life comparison for better comprehension.

big W for that, imo. Absolutely magnificent.

Loved the addition of how rigorous the medical testing is for such research initiatives. Really puts into perspective how much it takes to innovate in medicine.
