i.e. do people in the HN community think that their doctors would do a better job if they leveraged ML in some form? do doctors rely too much on their own personal in-brain understanding?

Probably, but in most cases it would be a small gain. Maybe "Watson for Cancer" would get you a 55% survival rate instead of a 50% survival rate. Just doing the study to prove it is 5% better would cost billions! The low-hanging fruit is things like * getting people to really take their maintenance meds * avoiding stupid mistakes such as https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2963580/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2963580/
