I prefer the machine, thank you. When I'm ill, I just want to be fixed, monitored and left alone to rest and heal. Maybe it's being a mother, but I feel like I'm "touched" to death some days. I am also very computer savvy and believe that nanotechnology is our future. People can still pray for me and keep me company at home. I'd much rather be at home than in the hospital and there's less chance of catching something else at the hospital, which is a major problem.

Nanotechtechnology is the real future of health care inasmuch as it will reduce the outmoded invasive surgery that now comprises the bulk of hospital work and costs.

Scientific discoveries propel the human race forward, however those scientific endeavors pale in comparison to the need for the human touch and caring for the patient. Just a word or two of encouragement, prayer, positive thoughts and feelings can help someone who is sick. Machines can only do so much. I would not like to see our future as only measured in scientific success, but in progress of the human heart and spirit. I would imagine that just seeing and interacting with the doctor via seeing and hearing on the screen might go a long way towards the patient feeling that they have a caring person on the other end. The healing effects of even a good hospital could be negated by a nurse that was not gentle and encouraging. People are very vulnerable when they are ill and need more than just a machine. People can be good medicine too.

I would agree the feeling of tuch. My client said the other day that his Dr. was sending him off to another. Rather it be human or machine. He did not care he said tired of people to give me care and send me to something else.
He wanted the human empathy comapssion along with the professional treatment.
I could only comfort him with the skills of human nature I have.

Loved learning all the new technology now and in the future, just wondering if touch, which is a form of art,will ever be with the patient. It takes a special person to assist another in personal touch, and I know machines can not do it. Of course the more we get away from this, the generation to be will not miss what they did not have. Wish we could bring some of the "old ways" back. Mean while I still have a brain, love in my heart, great hands, and the ability to touch people. Sighned 40 year LPN bedside nurse
