Only In Mexico 13 - Medical Dummies

A Mexican university uses robotic patients to train medical students due to a shortage of training hospitals. These dummies have mechanical organs, synthetic blood, and life support systems, allowing students to practice without risk. The institution is the world's largest robotic hospital, where students perform various medical procedures. The dummies are equipped with software to simulate illnesses, providing realistic training scenarios. However, there are challenges, such as the dummies occasionally malfunctioning.
