Says who? All the doctors in my family, most of whom are surgeons, are very concerned about the rise in AI being used to diagnose patients, for instance. Entire teams of specialists can be rendered redundant as AI gets better at analyzing disparate symptoms to identify the body systems affected and likely underlying causes that can take human doctors years to diagnose. [b]The encroachment on the medical field is already significant.[/b] [/quote]

No. I appreciate you have family members who are doctors, but I am a doctor. [b]AI isn't encroaching significantly onto healthcare.[/b] Sorry. Cite it, if you think you have other reasons besides anecdote.

OpenEvidence is helpful. There are places in radiology and pathology reporting where a first pass with AI is sometimes helpful. Where else?

That being said, I'm a [i]doctor[/i]. Of course, if there is a better way to provide health care to people, I'm all for it. I'm sure we will get there eventually. Heck, if there were no illnesses, accidents, or aging, I'd be out of a job -- and that would be [i]great[/i]. Putting me out of work would be a fantastic endgame.

Until then, I'm not going to lose my mind, soil myself, or whatever it is you think I should be doing at the prospect. Not going to change the outcome anyway. [/quote]
[b]I keep advocating for the AMA and state licensing authorities to make continuing medical education requirements at least as rigorous as continuing legal education requirements.[/b] The way doctors who aren't in hospital and research settings quickly lose track of new drugs, interventions, and advances is disturbing. Anyway, let me catch you up:

PS: You should take a course in how research works. Seriously. [/quote]

Economically, studies are just for the wealthy, the rest of us just have to figure it out what-ever way we can and can't share our results. [b] It's like a rule, poor people can't do science or say anything about scientific results. [/b] I just hope I only get the same diseases the rich get, and they don't need to guinea pigs for their nasty drugs.[/quote]

Do you think that poor people are by definition uneducated?[/quote]
