Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don't know that I would want to completely remove the element from any of those jobs, especially doctor. An AI doesn't really understand what pain is. But I would be in favor of a hybrid AI/human job for any of those.
Have you met doctors? Their personality type is the closest to robots we have. They spend years in misery memorizing things, yet when they become doctors they need to learn "bedside manner"
I've been dealing with a serious mystery medical issue for months now and also have a bad nerve disorder and, aside from one case, I have had very good experience with my many doctors, who have all had an excellent bedside manner even when they were unable to help me in the end. The people in the medical industry in the U.S. who are not great at dealing with people are the people who didn't go to medical school, like at the registration desk. They're paid shit and are sick of their jobs and have to deal with terrible people all day and I don't blame them. And doctors and nurses have to deal with terrible people all day too, which is why I am actually pretty impressed by how caring everyone has been.
While waiting in the bed to get my gallbladder removed at the end of last month, I had to listen to some lady whine and complain to literally every person that came into her pre-op area across from mine, everyone from the intake person to the surgeon, and bitching to her husband the rest of the time. And, of course, regularly pressing the call button. I pressed it twice. Once to go to the bathroom and once because my IV bag was getting empty because someone accidentally made it drip too quickly.
And wow are there some shitty healthcare jobs. A guy came in to shave my whole stomach with clippers, which took a good 10 minutes because I'm fairly hirsute. Then I listened to him in another waiting area shaving some guy who must have been Robin Williams' stunt double because the guy was still doing it when I left for surgery and he started like 45 minutes beforehand. Imagine being the guy who has to shave everyone before surgery. And even he was really nice.
Doctors don't shave...
