Description
Robot doctors are still years away, not least because of their cold hands and stilted bedside manner.

Our guests, Shirlee Sharkey, CEO of in-home care provider Saint Elizabeth Healthcare, and Felicia Kontopidis, a nurse and clinical practice coach, agree that technology is changing everything—but you can't automate the human touch.
