As AI technology greatly improves, I bet this will eventually become the norm in all hospitals with nearly all if not all the work being done by robot doctors and nurses and with very few if any human one's.
In fact, I think that human labor will not only be replaced by robots in all hospitals but also in all factories mines power-stations shops supermarkets public-transport-drivers etc. and then society will have no choice but to dump the old work-ethic belief that everyone that can should do paid work because there will be no paid jobs because robots & AIs would then be doing all the otherwise paid jobs for humans.
This won't stop many people choosing to do some work without pay and for other motives other than pay. In such a society I would still choose to work as a science researcher and wouldn't cure if I didn't get extra income for doing so as opposed to choosing to do no work.
