Robot Doctors? (Telemedicine)

In the future, we will see advanced technology. Telemedicine will be taken to a whole new level. Robots will be used to help healthcare providers diagnose and treat patients. Imagine a robot strolling down the hallway of a hospital making rounds as if a healthcare provider would.  How do you feel about this? Will trust be lost with patients? Will it make us less empathetic? It seems a bit impersonal but could decrease cost and give care to patients in rural areas.
