New robotic system allows medical diagnoses in remote Labrador community
NAIN, N.L. - A new robotic system has been installed at a health clinic in the remote Labrador community of Nain allowing for medical care without the need to travel.
The Remote Presence Robotic System uses a secure Internet connection to help doctors do assessments and diagnose patients in real time from another location.
Medical data, such as ultrasound images, can be transmitted through the robot and medical personnel can lead resuscitation, discuss treatment plans and interact with patients and the local health team.
So how long until some guy in india is running a robot to mop the floors, tend cash , flip your McDogfood's burger ?
How long before 100% of all jobs can be exported to other countries ? Because I mean , once you start outsourcing manual labor , its all over. Now no one will be able to hold a job in any proffession without threat of it heading overseas.
We need laws to prevent this stuff. At the very least , the job must stay in the country . Because shipping it all to the Philipines will be the end of us.

Inquiry findings hurt Taser's business, company to say
Article
VANCOUVER — A British Columbia public inquiry's conclusion that a jolt from a Taser can be lethal wasn't based on all of the evidence and has hurt the manufacturer's business around the world, the company will argue in court this week.
This is like watching the tobacco companies try and sue every doctor who claims smoking is unhealthy.
But Taser International argues Braidwood didn't take into account all of the information the company provided, and that it wasn't given an opportunity to respond before the report was released.
Tasers "Response" was to spam anyone who asks with thousands and thousands of pages of utter rubbish and then demand you read every last word of it. And if you actualy did they would produce thousands more. Effecitvely they were trying to give themselves the ability to stall forever , and the judge called time on them.
The Arizona-based company says the report has forced it to travel the world to defend its products, and the findings prompted law enforcement officials in Africa to scrap a contract worth "tens of millions of dollars."
Yep. Finding out your "stun gun" is killing people is likely bad for business.
He also questioned some of the studies and statistics provided by Taser, saying their methodology and results were insufficient to conclude, as the company does, that the weapons cannot affect the heart.
Thats legalese for "you just made those studies up out of thin air" , by the way , in case you missed that.
Initially, Taser's petition also accused the commission's lead lawyer and its medical adviser of bias, but a judge later forced the company to drop those complaints, calling them "an abuse of process."
translation : You're suing everyone in sight as a terror tactic.
The company has faced dozens of wrongful death lawsuits and sends legal demands to media outlets that suggest Tasers are responsible for anyone's death.
.
.
.
Last year, Taser International sent out a news release boasting it had successfully won its 100th dismissal of a liability lawsuit.
That one hundred people sued you because someone died from your safe weapon is not something to brag about.
I was wrong. You guys arn't like the tobacco companies. You're new and improved, more vicious , more lethal version of that pattern.
