Would you trust your life to an 'autopilot' robo-doctor?

I am in an aeroplane crossing the Atlantic Ocean as I write this. We took off from Heathrow Airport more than three hours ago. By now, it's likely the plane's captain and crew are not physically in control of the aircraft. Something as complex as flying a metal tube packed with more than 300 living souls at 12,000 metres and 900kph is left to a computer and a set of algorithms. Such a device is badly needed in our hospital wards.
