[@rochelle3071]

I was released from the hospital today. I ran into moxi, she stopped and let my gerney go ahead, I said Hello Moxi, Moxi turned and looked at me and kept on rolling away 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was once a medical courier that parked in the middle of a street in a snow storm because parking lot was drifted, rolled over a huge snow bank, kicked the clinics frozen door loose and retrieved the supplies and samples from the lab. I got to work one morning to find my tire flat. I changed it, dropped off the flat at the shop. That night was tboned. With a van full of supplies and dry ice. Changed that tire as well after the police report. Pryed the fender away from tire and zip ties my hanging bumper shroud. Finished the day on time for patients the next morning. Someone was really sad because they had to pay me $12/h instead of a robot company they owned stock in.

It looked like the robot will help assist.

Trippler army hospital was first design fully functioning medicine dispenser for hospital environment and it reduced drug alergies rate in patients

Revolutionary lol It's a tube station. Way to push the limits of possibility. I could have just duct taped a safe on a RC race car. It would even take the stairs. Can you imagine waiting on a robot because it called the elevator before you.

[@drkesavsarma_singer]

I want to buy this Moxi bot for hospital. What's the price ?

[@truthbeliever24]

You think it's cool now and it's just "helping" you. Yeah helping you right off the job! I remember Walmart getting and having self check lanes for a bit. I went in Target one day and said to an employee, when are yall gonna get the self check out lanes. He replied, oh target will never do that. They take care of the guest to well to get what walmart has. I said yeah okay and walked away laughing. Now look. My local Aldis, gas stations, McDonald's, Taco Bell and Burger King even has self check out. Don't even get me started on the Sam's and Walmart floor cleaner that moves around on its own, and the Robots in McDonald's working behind the counter and not to mention the Robot in one of the Vegas malls. I forget the mall but it's right by Nacho Daddys on the strip. Anyways, they had a bar in there and what I see?! A robot among employees walking around behind the bar counter making drinks, a Robot. People thought it was the coolest. My family and I were like there goes a Bar tenders job.

Wal-Mart should hire robots humans worthless there especially Rochester NY

Robotic nurse reduce sex trade at hospitals

[@dhenry4190]

Why we had to listen to certain people represent this

[@phillipsutherland5392]

Instead of people.... And that is not stealing jobs? It has already.

How far is a Lab at a hospital? Making people Lazy . I went to a hospital recently spent 6 hours and I saw people just talking for all 6 hours and no one taking labs to the lab . They sat in chairs and talked about their personal lives .

[@alexandriaa44]

Atleast the robot will get it done, Ik what you mean our hospital isn’t the best either 🙄

[@joshsteele5701]

Sometimes you can't tube stuff. And you'd be surprised how far it is. It's not necessarily the walk. It's doing it 3 or 4 times a shift. So it would definitely help there. But an rc racecar could do the same...and take the stairs.

[@Wowhondor]

Not to take jobs? False. Having someone with feet, creative thinking mind, and more hands will always be more sufficient. Having to wait on this? No thank you. Hospitals always trying to hire less and get more 😂

[@Anim3nimA]

Why is it always such a negative stance on technology/AI/robots? They CANT replace humans, but they can supplement and help an already struggling industry. The US alone is going to be almost 1 million nurses short by the next few years. We are not going to create enough nurses in time to meet the demand of healthcare. Yes we can all argue that nurses should be payed more as opposed to allotting money for robots, but that doesn't change the fact that we are still severely short of manpower. Blame capitalism for why owners of hospitals make much much much more than their employees.
