I could not find any doctor to answer these so i thought you could help.
Here are my questions. Feel free to skip any questions. I really appreciate your time.

1. Why should a DR. use optic fibers in their day to day, or during surgery?
2. What are the benefits if any of using them?
3. Who developed optic fiber for use in the medical field?
4. How far will medicine advance to where the need for these is obsolete?
5. How do you feel about using optic fibers in the medical field?

Thanks.

Doctors use fiber optics to look at people's stomach and their esophagus'. These are alot more compact, and put out a lot more light than the tools they used in the past. The old method was too big and painful to the patient.

Honestly, there was a show on Discovery last week about this. I bet you can go on their website, and they will probably have the show on file. It was on the evolution of fiber optics. Very interesting.
