kids will probably cry even more at a robot than they do at a human pediatrician, no chance this would cause an uproar and say they try to make the robots look human? that'll prob look extremely uncanny.

Robots will probably only assist in pediatrics, in dirty work such as filing reports, helping diagnose diseases, e.t.c.
