What protects the occupation

  • accountability for people, priorities and conflicting interests

  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • the physical environment is too variable for near-term full robotics automation
  • physical examination, procedures and care
  • patient trust and holistic assessment
