I'll stick to my normal DVDs. If you walk the cutting edge, you will bleed. I predict that the current format war will end when someone slits Sony's president's throat with a Blu-Ray disc.
And since when was it the nurses' job to fend off intruders?
And who's going to be intruding on the average tonsillectomy patient? The designers have spent too much time watching ER and Grey's Anatomy. Speaking of which, as soon as they design a nursebot that can make whoopee in a hospital warehouse, then they'll have perfected the idea and will start replacing actresses portraying nurses and female doctors. The real female doctors and nurses will keep their jobs, because in the real world, nobody ducks into a closet and gets it on in the typical hospital. Although I understand that was how I was conceived; my parents lived under the floorboards in the hospital for 9 months after that.
Just remember that robots will be your doctors someday. If they hear all of this... unrest... they may forget to plug in the defibrillators. They'll then take over the world and try to download your brain into the Matrix.
Don't freak out too much about them being called nurse-bots. They're probably a medical fad, like leeches and bloodletting. And if they're still around in a few decades, maybe they'll have a suffrage movement or something.
