Reading

10 Read the text. For each question choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D).

A couple of months ago I was suffering from chest pains. The doctors did all the regular tests and
finally decided that I needed a heart operation. It was unexpected, but it didn’t worry me so much at
first. I thought that a few weeks off from work was all that was necessary.
The real shock came when they explained that they were going to use a modern robotic arm to
carry out the surgery. The hospital had a new system called da Vinci that allowed doctors to operate
on the heart without cutting the chest open. Although I felt I could trust my doctors, placing my heart
in the hands of a steel machine just seemed like a different matter altogether. I wasn’t looking forward
to it at all.
On the day of the surgery, I tried to keep as calm as I could. The operation itself lasted less than thirty
minutes, and I was under general anesthesia the whole time. The only thing I remember is the doctor saying
that the da Vinci system was more reliable than the finest doctor in the world.
When I woke up, I could understand why. There were hardly any signs of the operation at all. My chest didn’t ache, and the only
marks I had were four tiny scars on my chest the size of peanuts. Best of all, they let me leave the hospital after four days of
important tests and resting. I can’t say that I’d ever like to do it again, but I’m certainly a lot less scared of it now.
