Robot Dr...

to be called Sister Mary. This morning's radio heralded a new medical robot to assist Doctors. Wonder if there's to be a choice of bedside manner? Can imagine disciplinarians turning the tough love knob to 11 and rather than "It's a cold Mr Johnson take two paracetamol and the morning off." we'll get "SNIVELLING LITTLE FUCKER, YOU'LL BE ASKING ME THE WIPE YOUR ARSE NEXT!" With a 50 Kilovolt taser shot to help you leave. For the real nutters there might be a Travis Bickle option, not "Let me look at you." but "YOU LOOKING AT ME!".

I think people will be put off.

Hahaha...the way some doctors behave...I hope they're not the ones to programme the robots.

Uh-oh...just had a thought...what if The Machine Stops?
