The machines do all the doctoring. Our protagonist is a "doctor" hired to provide bedside manor. His actions are strictly prescribed by what the client pays for.
I see this happening. At some point in the not too distant future computers will be more consistent diagnosticians than actual doctors, as long as they have data. For most conditions it doesn't even take AI. Bedside manor will be provided in a more clever and better way though, most likely with someone posing as a nurse (or a real one, they will be harder to automate).
