So seriously what do you want from doctors? Should they even exist anymore?

The AI isn't quite smart enough, yet, to run differential diagnosis protocols. But once it is? Any PCP who isn't capable of adding human compassion and value to that formula needs to GTFO. Most of the doctors I see are medgoogling my symptoms anyway. Once the algorithm can do that, we'll only need experienced doctors for review (we're already using this model, just with PAs and NPs instead of AI).

So I want doctors to act like their humanity is the value add, because that's going to be the only way they keep their jobs unless they're specialists.[/quote]

By the time that happens, all the people who are part of the complaining group but can’t afford to pay for concierge because their skills and time are not valuable enough will be unemployed anyways. So I guess it will all work out in the end. [/quote]

I’m a teacher. I guess my time and skills aren’t valuable to society since I can’t afford concierge. Is that right, PP?

Unfortunately, going to my doctor sometimes makes me feel unimportant. A doctor once expressed anger because my appt (which I was on time for, but had to wait 1.5 hours) was going to make her work past 4, which meant I was bleeding into her private time. She made sure I knew she was making a great sacrifice.

As a teacher who regularly works nights and weekends just to stay afloat at work, the comment hit hard.

But the PP here says my value to society is limited, so I guess it doesn’t matter how I feel.[/quote]

I get the feeling from this thread that some doctors feel they have the hardest most important job in the world, yet having spent so much time in school, haven't ever experienced any other kind of job.[/quote]

No, of course it's not hard, and they are nothing special. It's just a regular job like any other business. A mechanic or grocer can set their own hours, turn away customers, and charge however much they want extra.

A lot of doctors agree with you. It's called concierge, PP -- haven't you been reading the thread?[/quote]
