“AI will make getting a second opinion a lot easier as well”
May your AI be programmed by Pfizer and Anthony Fauci.
“May your AI be programmed by Pfizer and Anthony Fauci.”
Might as well be now. Most of my current doctors and specialists are programmed by the health care system they are employed by. When prescribed drugs I always ask about alternative treatments including other drugs, lifestyle changes, etc. The answer is almost always, “My recommendation follows the hospital system protocol for your particular symptoms.”
Most Americans, who see young doctors employed by big hospital systems already are assigned the treatment protocol approved by the hospital system and the big insurance companies. Big Pharma and the FDA are also contributors to the development of these protocols. One reason concierge practices are popping up is people who can afford it want custom treatment.
AI diagnosis and treatment is simply the final step on the road to assembly line medicine where one size fits all. Just think how much can be save to have an AI bot diagnose the patient and prescribe the treatment instead of paying a medical school trained and licensed physician.
