I think they will have more availability which is the only thing I expect from my medical care. I don't need to be comforted if I have cancer, I need treatment.

Empathy isn't about comforting, you're thinking of sympathy. Empathy is about understanding what you are going through and treating you accordingly.

For sure, they could have a ton of empathy and infinite patience, and they would never get tired or have a bad day. There's already chatbots that behave like this.

As a patient seeking medical treatment, I respectfully request that the hospital service be improved to provide a seamless and efficient experience. I don’t care about empathy, just do you job the right way.
