It also paid off as the episode reached its climax. Once again, it was an effective use of da Vinci’s brilliance while also being subtle. Much like last week, da Vinci’s story was about making a single connection through a language barrier. It didn’t come as a surprise that da Vinci was the one to see the Incans as more than savages and it was great to see him spend the entire episode trying to piece together their language. The journey through the jungle and the encounter with the first Incan were well paced as the story methodically built to what was an incredibly suspenseful conclusion that also delivered a few surprises. Everything else felt largely like setup for what transpired in this episode and what will transpire in the latter half of the season. That’s not unexpected, as Season 2 has largely been sold on the novel idea of Da Vinci exploring the New World. This has been the first episode in some time in which the da Vinci story arc has been easily the best. Clarice is back after being absent last week and continues to thwart usurpers to her husband’s republic in style.

" "So if we lived in that world we would tell the patient, ‘I’d like to operate on you, but I didn’t have the time or money to have all the training that I really think that we ought to have had. "We should live in a world where we practice brutal transparency with our patients," said Poston. Poston says while he has now done about 1,200 procedures using the da Vinci, before he did his first he had only had two hours of training on the device, and is deeply concerned that many other surgeons are inadequately trained. "We shouldn't be operating until we've done all of the training that we think is reasonable." Surgeons operate a da Vinci Surgical robot to remove the tumor at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province of China on April 15, 2015. "It's woefully inadequate, woefully inadequate the way it's currently being done," said Poston.
