The interpersonal acumen necessary is as of now, impossible to automate.

The dynamic settings faced are not at all predictable either.

I hope we work in conjuction with diagnostic AI systems to improve delivery of care, but I am not concerned about being replaced in the near future.

Diseases and health emergencies present in unique ways, even within a standard disease. People are litigious, and often treatments rely on "judgment calls".

The work environment can also be incredibly hostile.

Robots can't birth babies, administer meds, do cpr, do anything without the use of humans so robots would just get in the way but some robots like LUCAS I think it's called helps a bit for the medics to focus on other things
