You must have forgotten about the sickbay diagnostic bed with the foot-pumping machine in the wall. How's the doctor supposed to carry that around?
Anyway, back to hospitals: they seem to work fine in my country. If you have a problem that's somewhat urgent (needs more than a clinic visit), you just call for an ambulance and go to the hospital. Having doctors spend at least half their day in transit, going from place to place, seems like a massive waste.
- thombat 4y agoNaturally the diagnostic bed is beamed in by the same transporter that lets the doctor flit around the city making home visits without losing half the day on the road. (Since the whole idea is premised in optimistic sci-fi rather than mundane reality, let's go the whole hog...)
