These training mannequins are becoming increasingly sophisticated:
Even the newest medical student can practice on him and study his array of symptoms and illnesses.(Elliott, "Learning from the perfect patient", BBC, Jul.30)
Unfortunately, Stan isn't human but he is the next best thing - a hi-tech manikin known as a human patient simulator.
He is so versatile he can be programmed to be any age and have a whole range of symptoms.
One day he can be healthy and fit, the next day he can be dying. He is so cleverly designed that his whole body is tuned to replicate the patterns of the disease and that makes him an ideal model for students to study.
