For example, the technology of robotic surgery is rapidly changing the field of general surgery. Perhaps in the future, it may completely eliminate the need for surgeons altogether. Which fields would be immune from being replaced by technology?
The best doctors who care about patients have always hoped to become obsolete. However like the original plan for the health service in 1948,when it was thought that treating disease would make the costs fall as everyone would get better,as we treat,manage of even abolish certain conditions,new ones seem to replace them.
