Rivian R1T powers patient’s vasectomy after clinic power outage

September 2, 2022

The Rivian R1T can run all the equipment you need to perform a vasectomy as one enterprising doctor has demonstrated this week. Christopher Yang is a urologist practicing in Austin, Texas, who specializes in men’s health. On Thursday, the good doctor had a vasectomy scheduled, but the power to his clinic had gone out. As the patient had already arranged time off for the procedure, they were eager to go ahead. Thus, Yang got creative, and figured he could press his Rivian R1T into service instead. “There was no lightbulb moment, but my staff and I were discussing whether to cancel the vasectomy due to the power outage. One of them jokingly mentioned that we should run it off of the Rivian,” said Yang, adding “After more thought, it seemed that it would work. I discussed the risks [and] benefits with the patient, and he agreed to proceed.” Read original article here.
