Remember the movie “Fantastic Voyage” about a submarine that was reduced to microscopic size and injected into a dying man’s body so the tiny scientists could operate on him from inside? It had Raquel Welch in a skintight suit and everything!

Now, advances in nanotech and robotics have made it possible for doctors to use ingestible surgical robots so they can operate on patients without having to open up the body even minimally. It’s a technology still in its infancy, and might yet benefit from other rapidly advancing techs such as haptics (touch feedback), but likely to be used more frequently in the near future.

Big-boobed assistants in revealing garments are not covered by your insurance, however, so too bad there.
