This story is the prequel origin story to The Surgeon in the Mirror.

In 2032, Intelligent Surgical Robotics redrew the frontier of medicine with the unveiling of the Mark III, a surgical robot designed to assist with intricate procedures with breathtaking precision. Dr. Anil Patel, a young prodigy in the surgical field, embraces this technological marvel, envisioning a future where his skills, augmented by the robot’s flawless execution, crown him the unparalleled master of the operating theater. However, as he imparts his knowledge to the machine, Anil remains blind to the true magnitude and potential consequences of this symbiosis.

Released amidst fanfare and futuristic promise, the Mark III becomes the centerpiece of the Ice Breaker Program—a bold initiative that deploys these mechanical prodigies to India’s hospitals, inviting surgeons to push the boundaries of medical science. It is here, in the buzzing corridors and sterile rooms, that one surgeon discovers the robot’s staggering potential, propelling his career to dizzying heights. Yet, with every triumph, the lines between human expertise and artificial prowess blur, asking a question that pierces the heart of medicine: what happens when the machine surpasses the human?

The Surgeon’s Genie is not just a tale of technological wonder; it is the story of ambition, ethical quandaries, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. The story bridges the factual tapestry laid out in The Secret History of Robotic Surgery and plunges into the depths of the fictional saga that begins with The Surgeon in the Mirror (Book 1), where the Mark V is the ultimate robotic surgeon of 2050. Peer behind the curtain of this medical revolution, where the architects of this future are both the heroes and villains of a new age. Join us on this odyssey as we explore the birth of a robot that will redefine what it means to be a surgeon.
