Ernest Quintana, a 78-year-old man was told by a doctor who appeared on screen, that he would be dying within a few days. To this, a family friend took to social media to express the lack of value and compassion shown to a patient. He died the very next day without his wife beside him. The hospital regretted not living up to the family's expectations & said they don't encourage the use of technology to replace personal interactions.
