Plenful Bathes in Dough to Make Robots Do the Dirty Work

The Inventable Attempt to Avoid Human Meltdown

Oh wow, this is a new one. Apparently, “working” is too damn hard for healthcare organizations these days. So, they’re going to throw heaps of money at a company called Plenful. The purpose? To move their arduous tasks to automated services and scale their team like a bunch of lazy lizards. Instead of doing their jobs, seems like they’re just going to sit around sipping tea. Listen to that burnout sizzle away.

What Will All This Technological Mumbo-Jumbo Imply?

So, what does all this techy nonsense mean for us, the unfortunate souls at the receiving end of healthcare services? Well, for starters, when you go for your next checkup, don’t be surprised if a robot tells you to strip down and turn your head to cough. With the increase in automated tasks, even the slightest form of human connection is slowly crawling out of the window.

A Bunch of Silicon-Infused Thoughts

In essence, what this new wave of technology implies is a bleak future of utter disconnection. Here’s my ‘hot take’: Healthcare is providing worse and worse service, and now they want to blame it on “burnout” instead of working on improving their organizational efficiency. Maybe the solution is to revaluate your structure or hire competent people instead of diving headfirst into automation. Too many robots and not enough human touch might leave patients feeling more like malfunctioning machines than people.

In conclusion, this whole business of automating healthcare via Plenful seems quite like a bleak preview of a robotic apocalypse. Although, considering the sad state of the human race, one wonders if robots could screw things up any worse.
