There were still humans. They’d tried auto-nurses but customers had made their feelings clear and in a competitive market, once one hospital made a feature of “real” nurses, everyone followed. Patients preferred clearly stressed, occasionally grumpy, sometimes funny humans. There were autos in the background, doing work that wasn’t at the “patient interface”. The nurses enjoyed ordering them around: a moment of power. A hierarchy. Older nurses would tell tales of The Sister, pointing to where she would stand. The hospital still used the title; patient feedback again. But “she” wasn’t on the ward. No-one knew quite where it was.
