He doesn't have an equity card, but METI's (www.meti.com) advanced medical training mannequin, iStan, is a television star.

iStan appeared on Grey's Anatomy with a simulated gunshot wound last Thursday.

More than 20 local ABC affiliates in towns where the iStan simulator is used in medical training centers picked up the story with the local tie-in. iStan has appeared on Today, Good Morning America and ER.

In December, he will appear on the daytime talk show The Doctors.
