Ok, lets look at this stuff.
Would it have mattered to you if a machine interpreted the results and a nurse, fully versed in the specialty, had a consultation with you and guided you through the treatment process?
It seems like the bigger issue here is having some warmth of some sort in the situation - which I think is where medicine is really going, at least in the way we experience it. Computers and machines to do the hard diagnosis, with educated humans guiding other humans through. I believe we'll have less unpopular practitioners because we'll be able to spend more time teaching bedside manner and communication skills.
- zwieback 10y agoI get where you're going with this ("fully versed" nurse + AI = doctor) but there were also surgeons and anesthesiologists involved. Some specialties will remain but general practitioners and family doctors may be replaced with some combination of software and less expensive staff.
