The @StarTrek universe discusses this in its canon - with some comments/conclusions that the computer doctor can hold a scalpel but not actually care about the patient. This is later shown to be untrue (at least in their fiction). 3/4 memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki…

Please review our guide led by @DrMikeDolinger to intestinal ultrasound billing, and other nuts and bolts to getting IUS integrated into practice in the U.S. @IBDMD
Helping bring IUS to all IBD patients means navigating credentialing, billing and documentation for GIs. We cover this and more for USA IBD centers @AmJGastro. Thanks to @IBDMD @KrugCleveland and #MarlaDubinsky for making this critical work happen. journals.lww.com/ajg/Citatio…
