Robots are Giving a Break to Doctors

Robots are doing the rounds for doctors and what is involved is the practitioner could be anywhere, inside the hospital or far away from it, and the robot will do the rounds on the doctor’s behalf and the doctor will interact with the patients asking them questions since it has a screen and a camera. That is all it can do for now, which means it cannot check their pulse or measure their blood pressure, a feat that will not be difficult to accomplish as all the patients might have to do will be to follow instruction and can check their own pulse using the robots stethoscope and the robot will record it, while they could do the same with their blood pressure where they can use a pad that is attached to the robot. The particular robot that is being tried at Baltimore Sinai Hospital costs $150,000 and the doctor that is using it is a weight watch surgeon and according to him the patients like it, because they can interact with him as if he was there in person. There are around 120 such robots used around the world and amazingly their performance level had been superb since patients were able to leave hospitals earlier, which means they could enhance the follow up process, because they can be made to work round the clock, including nights. They are also useful in case of emergency when the doctors are not around and they can hold teleconferencing with the staff and the patients and could solve many problems.

The Hyphen Between Marriage-Kids had been Removed

According to a survey taken people no longer are marrying to bear children. What this means is other priorities have cropped up lately pushing the importance of bearing and raising children lower and it is no longer the sole glue for a happy and long lasting marriage. However it does not mean children are not welcome as the survey found out that they are very welcome, but the era they were the priorities is out and what are in are faithfulness, good sexual relationship, chore-sharing, comfortable lifestyle that include good income and a good house that goes with it, similar religion belief, tastes, and interests. The other leniency is it is not only that couple have no problem living in a common law arrangement but they can bear children out of wedlock and there is nothing new about it since one family out of four is doing it. The survey did not find out that children are not the source of fulfillment, to the contrary, yet bearing children has become an option and could take place anytime in the life of the marriage rather than going to work right away to make a family. The alarming figure reveled was the role of child bearing to hold marriage together was at 65% in 1990 and that figure has come down to 41% in the recent survey made and the reason is still under study.
