Pretty much everyone has had at least one if not several bad experiences in hospitals. Well this robotic doctor was created to try to make your stay at the hospital a little better.

Are you worried about how everything is working on the inside? No, not your computer’s insides, your insides. There are some pretty exciting gross pics after the jump of just what you can see with the new PillCam ESO 2.
