Automating nurses seem very very far in the future though.
- crankylinuxuser 9y agoNot really. Automation isn't about saying one day "Whoop, youre through. This robotic maid will do everything you can do and more." That doesn't happen. Instead, its computerized tools that "allow" you to do 1.2x more work. And 5 nurses means the owners get rid of the 6th nurse. Then a new comprehensive patient device comes out, and can act like a .5 nurse. The owners buy 2 of them. And then they get rid of another human, or fail to hire when one leaves. By the end, you have only a small handful of people, with technology as multipliers. And if that single person doesn't show up, then "bad happens". That bad, with many instances, is the justification to finally depend on full automation.
