SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I — A South County Hospital physician is the first in the world certified to do total knee replacements using a robot.
Sixty-five total knee replacements have been done since June using this advanced technology at that hospital.
Shoshana Feinstein, a former opera diva and rock singer, had been singing the blues because of a bad right knee for about 10 years.
"Unbearable pain, and I have a high tolerance to pain," said Feinstein.
Earlier this year, she got into a car accident and blew out her other knee.
"It took me two minutes to walk down the stairs and I've got two horses I have to feed them every morning," she said.
She went to see Dr. Bob Marchand, who imaged both of her knees.
