Christian DeHaemer is talking about a large future shortage of doctors and how one company has the lock on a ”Physician Robot” that will do a Doctors job with him in some other office, or even another city. These robots are even being used now.
Anybody know what this is?

Mr Barbour,
Could he be talking about ISRG, whose daVinci surgery robt is increasingly favored by surgeons? Surgeons are still required: daVinci augments, does not replace, the surgeon.
Its iRobot (IRBT). If you google: hospital robots, you get some articles about them.
