Where is the line between human and machine?

If you have a medical issue where do you turn first, the internet or your doctor? Are embarrassing issues easier to deal with when you do not have to have a face to face discussion about them? Are sources on the internet reliable enough to be taken seriously? If you look at scientific journals online then they might be reliable. Did people not call a friend to get their advice before we had the internet? There are certain things such as a common cold or simple questions that could be dealt with over the internet. This would help the hospitals and doctor offices with wait times and over population. Where do we draw the line of what can and cannot be dealt with online? While searching symptoms of a common cold someone might mistake it for something more serious and vice versa.
The Ontario government has created a website that allows citizens to figure out what type of health care they need. This is to help the citizens of Ontario and the wait times at family doctors and emergency rooms. Telehealth Ontario helps guide the general public to which health care option is best suited for the issue, over the phone. Options like this are helpful to the general wellbeing of the healthcare system. Patients can check to see waiting times for surgeries instead of tying up the phone lines at the hospital or doctors office. This system is more efficient but does it lose the humanistic aspect of healthcare? Is a personal connection important?
The idea of medicine fusing with technology brings exciting possibilities. People who were once told they could never use their legs again are now able to walk. Retinal implants are allowing the blind to see. These wonderful possibilities that contradict what our human bodies will allow us. Will we one day become these indestructible “human” machines? When do we stop being human and just become machines?
