Eddie studied the schematic about the time Doc returned from downstairs.
"Hey, Doc, take a look at these," Eddie insisted. Both men studied them while Eddie explained things to him. "With our power problems solved, I think we can install one of each of these units on Med Force."
Doc scratched his chin in obvious question, "They would be quite an addition but automated surgery and such. I just have my doubts."
"Doc," Eddie replied quickly, one hand on Doc's shoulder, "the unit doesn't do the surgery itself, what it does do is allow for automated control of say, the administration of medicine to one recovering from surgery. Rather than having a whole staff watching over people, you could have one or two people monitoring things while those staff can be better used in the surgical ward. It won't take jobs from people."
Doc thought a moment. He weighed what he had heard versus what he felt. Machines were great. His Rejuventor was an example of one that turned out to be a great investment. He bobbed his head and replied to both Eddie and Nerva, "Install one of each unit. We will conduct trials on it and see how it goes. The instant it costs me personnel or costs a life, they are gone."
Eddie just looked at Nerva, smiling in satisfaction.
