the physician inventor of penelope the or robot is hoping that his one-armed robot will replace the nurse who hands the surgeon the instruments, freeing the nurse to give postoperative care !
you don't have to pay robots wages, health benefits, they don't complain about the pt load or organize unions. management must be salivating.
i don't think that they will be good pt advocates, comfort a dying child's family, you know all the good things we do that keep us working.

And do you really want it to do your disempaction/enemas til clear?
