  Dr. Richard Shemin, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at BMC, has done a dozen heart surgeries using the robot, including four mitral valve repairs and eight coronary artery bypasses.
  
  "This gives me views of the heart that I've never seen before," said Shemin, who plans to do 30 to 40 more robotic surgeries by year's end.
  ...
  Shemin said the robot gives him greater precision, while the camera, which magnifies by a power of 10, allows him to "see better than I've ever seen before."

  Robotic Mitral Valve Repair, Dr. Shemin, , UCLA, January, 2008
  ...
  Of course the robot did not act alone - there was a team of a dozen or more people, including my marvelous surgeon Dr. Richard Shemin. I cannot compare my experience to sternotomy patients, as my incision is about 2 1/2 inches long and hidden under my right breast. I have had tightness and soreness on the right side of my chest and have had to work to stretch and relax that area. That lung was also collapsed for the surgery. But I would have to say at this point in my recovery, I am able to walk twice a day for about 12-14 minutes each, do 2 sets of stretching exercises, 2 sets of strength building exercises a day, and am pretty much up and out of bed most of the day. I go out for rides and even into stores for small errands (not alone yet!) My pain medications consist of Darvocet, which I take a HALF of perhaps twice a day. (I do not like feeling zoned out.) I have good mobility, take my own showers, was my hair, dress by myself, fiddle in the kitchen, and even helped transplant a small cactus yesterday. I am visiting Dr. Shemin at UCLA this coming Wednesday and will share what he has to say with me. I am also taking other meds including the anti arrythmic Amiodarone, not my favorite, but it did convert me back to sinus rhythm after I fell out of it into afib on my second day in the hospital. Afib after open heart surgery is very common. Dr. Shemin says I will take it a total of 6 weeks then stop and at that time I can also stop the Coumadin.

  Commenting on participating in Medicare's experiment with globally priced cardiology episodes, Richard Shemin, MD, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Boston University Medical Center, said the challenge was to alter protocols to fit within the global payment system without compromising the care physicians provide.The cardiologists canceled all standing orders for bypass patients, which forced them to think twice before ordering any procedure, he said.Shemin found global payments to be vastly superior to several alternatives and much less onerous than such options as capitation.
  
  Shemin's team has been saving almost $100,000 annually just by substituting less expensive but equally effective anesthetics and other pharmaceuticals.
