Tweeting while performing surgery?

http://prdaily.com/Main/Articles/11598.aspx

Houston’s Memorial Hermann Medical Center tweeted while performing brain surgery. This is not the first time it has occurred, but has received a lot of media attention. Surgeons are removing a benign tumor from a 21-year-old. The tumor was discovered about a month ago after the patient experienced a seizure. Live tweeting occurred for four hours, and included tweets such as"patient being wheeled into the room..", "Dr. Kim now lifts this portion of the skull exposing the membrane underneath.."

I don't know how I feel about this- What if something goes wrong?
