Becoming a good doctor requires practice. This image here is a doctor practicing how to perform prostate exams on a plastic robot butt video game.

Rob Delaney tweeted this photo on Twitter earlier this month and Geekosystem tracked down the doctor behind the behind to find out more.

Benjamin Lok is one of the doctors involved in this project, and revealed that the butt even has a name - Patrick. The doctors are training with Patrick. It has embedded sensors to measure the pressure. Patrick will even interact with the doctor, and talk about the pain its feeling.
