A very good thing yes. I have already saw projects based on the blockchain that are developing medical systems and health cares and I think this is a big step forward.
No, it is to complicated for medical hospitals to accept bitcoin because as far as I know most of them dont even accept credit cards. Bitcoin has to be firstly accepted in grocery/clothes shops and also at airports or for busses/subways. Only after bitcoin will become a payment method used by almost all shops, hospitals can think about adding it as a payment method. I know there were some projects trying to connect the Blockchain technology with hospitals but they dont seem to be very successful
Is it possible someday that Medical Hospitals accept BTC as a payment for Hospital bills and other fees??
It all depends upon choices they make,if anyone wanted to accept bitcoin,they can and now the transaction charges have come down and so expect many retailers start accepting bitcoin now and may be in the future some hospitals or clinics will start accepting bitcoin ,it is a matter of time we will see major companies accepting it once again. Is it possible someday that Medical Hospitals accept BTC as a payment for Hospital bills and other fees??
Maybe I guess many people hope that it will happen soon. Maybe not now but if that will happen many people will agree and it is a good idea to implement because we will be in safiest and smooth transaction. I admit that because of bitcoin many people lives in the fullest because it gives you full satisfaction in life. It guarantee the wisdom on how to gain money.

it might happen if bitcoin is legal. but unfortunately, only certain companies receive bitcoin as a means of payment.Is it possible someday that Medical Hospitals accept BTC as a payment for Hospital bills and other fees??
As long as the government has not legalized bitcoin I think it's hard to use it. Because of course every hospital does not want to take risks if it has to use transactions that are not recognized by the government. they are more looking for safe use of transactions recommended by the government.
Hmm, i don't think the blockchain system will help much the Medial Industry because seems like they won't need much calcutions in it.
in my opinion transaction with bitcoin for now days is still not the best choice especially on the hospital, because we dont know if the bitcoin network will work fast or not. bitcoin infrastructure has to upgrade to tke this challenge and face up the growth of the user.
not yet i think, until the transaction speed and the fees get lower.
Imagine if you want to just buying a 5$ medicine but you have to pay the transaction fees >10$

Nowadays when online payments and other mode of payments are accetable by almost all merchants and industry, I think it is possible for medical industry as well to accept it as payment. Maybe not today but as time pass by when Cryto currency will prove more positive things to us.
I feel it is more of an issue of liquidating the bitcoins. Any business is able to receive bitcoins as a form of payment, medical industry included.
But as more people adopt usage of bitcoin and start to pay using bitcoin, if the liquidation process is troublesome or time consuming then it would not be feasible to adopt for now. Cash flow is always one of the most important factor for a business to consider.

Currently it is pretty difficult, there are still a lot of people who don't know what cryptocurrencies are that well. Bitcoin's popularity is constantly increasing and every day a lot more poeple are getting to knoe about it. When more numberof people start using bitcoins, it might become a regularly used payment method which hospitals, restaurants, hotels, etc. would start accepting.
The possibility that bitcoin can be use as a means of payments for medical is something that we are going to grasp in the future.Our life on the medical center would be uncomplicated if this will be accepted by the government institution.
That is very feasible and possible because i have already see ICO in the medical industry. It is a very good sign that bitcoin and the rest of the cryptos are utilized already in different areas of specialization. With that, it may set an example for others to follow too.
I dont think that. Accepting btc as payment is too complicated for organizations that dont work for economic purposes. Because it will take their time to research the market, worrying if tomorrow their hospital will be closed when btc's gone,... It's not a good thing not only for them, but for the people use the service as well. If it happened, btc could make people dead literally 
You raised a good point!! for those who says this will be a good thing, I just want to say we are all people expecting a bright future of btc, but it doesnt mean that everything on earth should get involved in this. It is too complex to use so often, daily This would an exiting development. Blockchain is already being considered in the medical industry and addition of Bitcoin will only make thing easier in terms of bill payments. Especially considering that blockchain may by then be already in use in the industry, making transactions cheaper, faster and simpler.
Medical sector is going soon to aproach new businesss models and of course its own blockchain's products as currencies, databases stored on blockchain, using the technology for daily uses.

I think in the future Medical Industry will tap Cryptocurrency Market. But for now? It's so difficult to accept this kind of payment to hospitals, because of the price volatility and more governments aren't legalizing bitcoin as a mode of payment.

btc is always redeemable for cash, so even a service or person doesn't accept btc you can always exchange quickly for cash with a lot of different solutions likewise credit card (xapo, adv cash, etc)... local btc... exchange directly to your credit card with other service, loading your bank account with kraken, and a lot of other solutions!
