In all fairness, it was meant for doctors who were out of the area (vacation, other hospitals, ect) to do stuff that wasn't invasive. However, some of the fancier ones were fitted with equipment to take blood pressures and the like. The one that I saw even had a slightly humanoid styled body to "put the patients at ease." Needless to say, people in Kentucky didn't like talking to "goddamn robo-foreigners"! (<-- True Quote)

I was thinking the same thing! :lol

Either that or one of the real-life people to finally just snap and attack the robots.

I don't understand why they wouldn't just video conference over the computer if they needed to talk face to face so badly. It would be a lot quicker to instantly connect rather than wait for whatever that thing is to slowly wheel it's way over. I guess that's why I don't make the big buck though.
