Thank you for reading. And also thank you for taking care of people. It's a really hard job that very few people want to or can do. And the people who do it professionally are not paid nearly enough.

Until I see a robot/AI combination that can help an elderly person clean up after a bowel incontinence incident, I will not believe that AI will make the future any easier.

I am luckier than most in that I have multiple siblings to depend on; my sister who is the primary health care power of attorney really shoulders the heaviest load of constant coordination with caregivers, doctors, and ER visits. I am so grateful because dealing with the healthcare system successfully or efficiently is not in my skillset.
