medical assistants don't do work that is overtly complex. it's easy to automate, and places like Japan already have tremendous progress in this area.
surgeons and doctors are so highly paid and hard to train that there's huge profit incentive for their roles to be automated. and technology is finally getting to the point where it's technically possible to automate those roles. so we'll see autonomous surgery and autonomous doctors much sooner than we all realize.
much like how self-driving cars are just a couple of years away even though people think they're really far away.
of course i'd fully expect the government to interfere with progress and try to "save da jerbs!!!" like India's government is doing
Automated surgeries? are you serious?
You think everybody in the world has the same anatomy?
does every city in the world have the same roads?
machines will operate based on principles, not rote memorization
The roads are organized in a systemic way such that it can be automated. Disease cannot.
