一位新医生
一位新医生

You’ll see a new doctor at a hospital in London if you go there. He’s very clever—but he never speaks and he didn’t go to medical school. He can work 24 hours a day and never feels tired. He is one meter tall and has a face like a TV screen (屏幕). He has no arms and legs, but lots of buttons (按钮) and switches (开关). He is Dr Robot.

Doctors often need to ask their patients about their health in the past. But busy doctors can only spend a few minutes with each patient. The robot doctor, however, can ask a patient for an hour if necessary. So when the human doctor meets his patient, he already has a lot of helpful information (信息).

There are plans for better robot doctors. But they will never take the place of (代替) human doctors. They can only help doctors to give their patients better service.
