Some surgeries don’t open someone completely up and rely on imaging machines (like when they put a stint in a heart). Also some surgeries are done remotely. So high detail can be important.
I think you’ve missed the point. At a certain pixel per inch, your eye cannot see more detail or discern any difference, so it’s completely useless to have more if you’re not able to pick up on it.
The primary difference there will be in camera quality then, not monitor resolution - and if the doctor needs to see something in higher detail, they move the camera closer. Cameras that small aren’t going to be 4K anyways, the sensor density doesn’t get that high.
Because medicine is a field that seems to most benefit from high technology and, when a loved one of mine is treated by a doctor, I’d rather use a cannon to swat a mosquito.
Nonsense. Medicine is a mish-mash of reductive thinking and conservatism. You may be thinking of outlier cases, but the day to day bread and butter of medicine is 19th century with dipping mustards.
Your attitude is why we end up with antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Do you also drive a tank to the grocery store in case of a fender bender?
How high detail if 300 dpi is already almost impossible to separate into dots for a human eye?

Yikes, if you’re trying to put a “stint” into someone’s heart, imaging is the least of your worries.
Solution: use a stent.
Not a doctor, so I’ll take your word for it.
Then why offer all the medical examples? Stint and stent are two different words.
