Right. So eventually doctors will just punch in a bunch of codes and let the computer do the work. They will lose their skill and experience and no longer be able to have a hunch to try something different. If this was 30 years ago their would be an uproar.

I sometimes wonder if one of my VA doctors is using such a system. She is nice enough, encourages a lot of talking from the patient, on how they feel that day, but almost never does she ever voice an opinion or come to any conclusions on what the base issue may be.

Only If I ask her directly if X is the problem, will she remark, and then, usually just to recommend making another appointment to take yet another ‘test’.
My primary VA doctors tend to be changed about once a year.
It is their system. She will be changed for another Doc in a few months. I look forward to that change.

They missed the BIG problem, what the machine is deciding is the least costly acceptable treatment for the client...the insurance company. It may not be the best or least problematic for the patient, but the outcome is best...for the insurance company.
