A doctor in California told a patient he was going to die, using a robot with a video-link screen. Ernest Quintana, 78, was at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Fremont when a doctor—appearing on the robot's screen - informed him that he would die within a few days. A family friend wrote on social media that it was “not the way to show value and compassion to a patient”. The hospital says it “regrets falling short” of the family's expectations.
