No Vinod. Technology will make doctors more efficient so they can handle 3x-5x the workload and serve more patients. I've known doctors/nurses who answer emails both between other health professionals, and between patients. Sometimes a 2-minute email can take the place of a regular checkup for somebody with a chronic condition. Where technology can make drastic improvements is detecting problems when they are minor, and not becoming major. If a primary-care doctor can only do 5 minute consults, and that results in missing a major diagnosis like cancer, which is then treated at a later stage, then they've blown out any cost saving by rushing consults.
