I did not know how helpful medical robots were in the medical field. Robots are helpful in the medical field by dealing with diagnosis, surgery, and helping the patients come back to health. The most important thing robots can do in the medical field is more accurate and safer diagnosing.  Some patients have incorrect diagnosing from doctors and they end up having more problems. Some of these robots have saved people's lives and made their lives a whole lot easier. From helping disabled patients to performing surgery, these robots are a big help in the medical field. Other robots bring you food to your hospital room or stay with you to make sure you do not fall and they can contact someone.  As I've said many times in the report, robots have had a huge impact on recovery time and have minimized the cost. Within our lifetime, robots will be doing a bunch of things we didn’t even know where possible.

I also did not realize how many people lost their jobs because of robots. Robots can do a task faster and with fewer errors, but some tasks are better for humans to do. I think the future of robots will have a good impact on our world, but I do not think people should be getting fired because a robot is taking their job. I cannot imagine one of my parents coming home and telling me they lost their job to a robot. Sometimes robots can free up nurses so they are not so overwhelmed with work and can help more patients. I hope we can use robots more in the future but it is terrible if robots are taking over everyone’s work. The most likely jobs to lose to robots are pharmacists, lawyers, drivers, astronauts, store clerks, soldiers, babysitters, rescuers, and sportswriters. It is crazy to think that robots can be babysitting your kids one day.

Lastly, I had no idea how many different robots there were for medical purposes. The simplest robot is pretty much a stuffed animal to comfort the patients, but it has a big part. The uses for medical robots are endless.  The medical field always has room for improvement. I think sometimes people get too caught up in what the newest thing out is, but robots can also be very beneficial. To me, medical robots are the most important robots. Some of them save people’s lives. Prosthetics is a type of robot where some parts of the human body are replaced with robots. A care robot is simply a robot that takes care of people. An important task of the care robots is to make sure you are taking your medicine on time. Surgical robots perform surgery by mimicking the doctor’s hand movements. Medical robots are considered one of the best things that have happened in the medical field.
