Click! If you are Sick....

What has the IT done to us? We can now go online to find a doctor in the locality, which is good. But what these guys are proposing is just attrocious.. The patients can now enter their symptoms and register the call and doctors would repond via email.. Next step ? Streaming video, so that the doctor may see your symptoms live/ recorded and prescribe medicines..

Innum konjam naal la doctors e irukka poradhu illai.. ellam robots than... hmm.. I just hope I dont see that day..

@Sumana - ya...

@Gils: ya if you see it from an IT perspective it is alright.. But think about this.. What if you log a call and the doctor is out of town and you are hoping that you will get a response.. but you get an Out of Office response.. crazy ya irukom illa? Illena maybe they will automate the proess to a degree that the computer will diagnose based on the symptoms provided.. Doctor munji ya parthale namakku udambu seriyana than agum.. robot veraya?

Given the way doctors diagnose today, I am starting to think that the robots are better off.
