Dr. Mani Menon

Now, if I had been in my shoes, I would have said, Menon, you're terrible. You don't know what you're doing. But Tuwari did have a filter between his brain and his mouth. You know, I would ask him, am I doing the right thing? And if he didn't, if he would do things a little differently, he would say, interesting, Dr. Menon, interesting.

And so that was my cord to take a step back and see what am I missing here? I could cope with that. But then he had... a hidden message for me which i couldn't cope with and that is when i really screwed up he would say wow you know at that point i really had to back off and uh and pause

Yes, case one, I almost quit. It was an enormously expensive proposition to do this. We paid them close to six figures a week to come over here because I didn't want them to feel, God, why am I doing this? I wanted to make sure that it was there. And now I work for a big institution much like UC San Diego, and the analogy would be

You know, if Manoj wanted to recruit somebody from Australia to do nerve grafting and said, I want to pay him four times what I'm paying myself. I mean, institutions simply won't buy that. Our institution did because of the, this was grant funded, didn't cost them a penny. And the donors wishes that, you know, I should be given latitude to develop the program the best way that I did.

So the first robotic case was a very strong, muscular African-American. who had a Gleason 4 plus 4 cancer. Probably not the case that I should have picked, but just the way the informed consent was done, he happened to be the first person who agreed. And I felt ethically the person who agreed first should have this done.

And the surgeon who was doing it started doing the prostatectomy, went posteriorly, developed the planes, and was about to transect the urethra, but he couldn't figure out where the prostate ended and where the urethra started. And that's just because this person was so muscular and the robot magnification was different from the laparoscopic magnification.
