Here’s a fun video montage from a recent episode of Grey’s Anatomy where tweet-happy residents collaborate with doctors from other facilities via Twitter to discover an alternative procedure during surgery. The first live-tweeted surgery (in real life) occurred over two years ago in January of 2009, when staff from the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit used Twitter to document a robotic procedure to remove a cancer.
