A medical effector system comprised of a bedside unit and a procedure unit. The bedside unit contains a series of connection points for receiving inputs from a series of patient monitors. The procedure unit contains a patient monitoring and medical effector program, and a drug delivery pump or magnetic flux generator capable of delivering therapeutic energy to a patient. The medical effector system contains the capability to issue and receive a request from a non-sedated patient, issue and receive a request from a sedated patient and then to calculate a time difference. The medical effector program operates the pump or magnetic flux generator based upon at least some of the patient outputs and program inputs including a calculated time difference. A removable umbilical cable connects the two units and allows the output of the patient monitors as well as other information to travel between the two units.

What is claimed is: 1. A medical effector system comprising:a) a microprocessor-based bedside monitoring unit having a bedside-monitoring-unit host controller, having a first series of connection points for receiving patient inputs from patient monitoring connections, having a second series of connection points for outputting patient outputs based on the received inputs, and having a display screen for displaying at least some of the patient outputs;b) a microprocessor-based procedure room unit having a medical effector, and having a drug-delivery flow control assembly and a procedure-room-unit host controller with a memory containing a patient-monitoring and end-effector-scheduling program which is operatively connected to program inputs based at least in part on at least some of the patient outputs, and/or advises a user to control, the medical effector based at least in part on the program inputs, wherein the procedure room unit (PRU) has an individual PRU identifier and the bedside monitoring unit (BMU) has an individual BMU identifier; andc) an umbilical cable having a first end attached or attachable to the second series of connection points of the bedside monitoring unit and having a second end attached or attachable to the procedure room unit, wherein at least one of the first and second ends is detachable from the corresponding bedside monitoring unit or the procedure room unit, and wherein the procedure-room-unit host controller and the bedside-monitoring-unit host controller are operatively connected together when the umbilical cable is attached to the procedure room unit and the bedside monitoring unit.
