“Nursing No Longer a Profession.”
Recently, nurses woke up to find that nursing programs have been reclassified.
Nursing began as a profession in 1860 during the Crimean war. Now the rug is being pulled out.
And doctors are not fairing much better.
Doctor Shortage
Positions for medical doctors are also on the decline, with a projected shortage of nearly 86,000 physicians by 2036. Some reasons include:
- medical school tuition can cost more than $300,000, on average
- a minimum of 7 years training, after undergraduate studies
- documentation burdens
- large percentage reaching retirement within next decade
- fewer than half of all applicants to U.S. med schools are accepted each year
Engineering TeleHealth
Amidst doctor declines, Physician Assistants (PA) are increasing.
Despite the usual excuses for shortages and reclassifications, the real reason for downsizing human doctors and nurses is a future where medical staff is replaced by AI; as in an engineered transformation.
Doctors and nurses first began their downward slide with the rise of insurance companies, which drives the healthcare relationship. When doctors took a backseat, they didn’t see the train-wreak coming.
Virtual Telehealth
Now, AI is pushing out the human element with Telemedicine, where SMART Hospitals of the future will offer:
- Extended Reality technologies (XR)
- Immersive Telehealth
- Remote monitoring
- Virtual care solutions
- Predictive AI and robotics
- digital health tools
- Genomic testing
- non-invasive liquid biopsies for screening
“Predictive AI will analyze vitals, genomics, lifestyle and environmental data to detect diseases before symptoms emerge.” Then again, that was once the promise of genetic medicine decades ago. Once upon a time, doctors claimed genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis, Huntington’s disease, and sickle-cell anemia arose from specific mutations in single genes, that could be targeted by drugs.
That Was Then…
Then came autoimmune disease and all bets were off.. until CRISPR gene editing technology!
Under CRISPR, the narrative says genes can be can be reprogrammed with promises of eliminating cancer.
Unfortunately, cancer rates continue to rise. Globally.
Back to nurses! Without nurses, what will happen to hospitals? Will robots greet patients? Administer meds? Clear bedpans? Be a friendly ear? Will birthing return to midwives at home?
Will humans be fertile? Will babies come from artificial wombs? [See lamb experiment.]
Will hospitals become obsolete because Telehealth wearables and the digital ID (DID) will make the fix remotely, where you live?
