Will robot doctors be the new Norm? - 0 views

Tandis S on 21 Nov 13Remote presence robots are allowing physicians to "beam" themselves into hospitals to diagnose patients and offer medical advice during emergencies, which seems very interesting and useful, but how will it affect the patient-doctor relationship? These Telepresence robots will seem much more distance and make the hospital experience very impersonal,in my opinion. And perhaps, once doctors notice the ease of this device for them ( since they could work from the comfort of their own home), less hours will be spent at the hospital, which would majorly change all patient's and just general hospital experience.
