Pinpoint fixing of trouble zones in your brain just got real. Enter the new Visuolase fiber-optic laser: 15 Watts of liquid-cooled, catheterized laser persuasion. When mated to a ROSA medical robot, this device makes the brain-fixer mech from Ender's Game look downright primitive. Even the most stubborn neurons will be conformed. It's not just the laser that makes this new medical virtuosity the experience of a lifetime, it's the unreal, futuristic technology pipeline that now awaits. From the salubrious gauntlet we will detail below, even the most humble plebs who aspire to any of the device trials now in full swing can make of themselves a medical celebrity.
